The Last of the Whales Have Been Freed From Russia’s Notorious “Whale Jail”— But Where Are They Going?

Releasing the Whales

The Whale Sanctuary Project has helped immensely in the coordination of releasing the whales.

The Whale Sanctuary Project remained in close contact with the institute in charge of the transport and release program until November of this year, which marks the final release.
