The province’s chief animal welfare inspector says marine mammal deaths at Marineland have not been related to water quality.

That's despite the fact the water did not meet the standard of care until recently, Melanie Milczynski said in a rare interview.

Five belugas have died at the park in the last year and 17 have died since 2019 , government records show.

Marineland has previously said the animal deaths are part of the cycle of life, and defended its treatment of the animals.

In March , Marineland responded to questions about the deaths of two belugas that month .

They said both died due to stomach torsion and it was “not possible to operate on beluga whales to correct that issue” The park went on to suggest that questions from The Canadian Press “appear to relate solely to ticking a box’ to say you inquired”.
