Part I Dr Chris Harvey-Clark on Fish Sentience and Whale Sanctuaries

In the first of this new Blue fish Radio Show 3-part series featuring Dr. Chris Harvey-Clark we begin with Chris sharing the story of how an 18-metre skeleton of a blue whale became the centrepiece of the new Beaty Centre for Marine Biodiversity at Dalhousie University. Then, at minute 17:47 Chris summarises his presentation to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association on fish as sentient beings. At 43:29 discussions turn to the proposed whale sanctuary on Nova Scotia’s east coast, alternatives discussed, and how such services are going to become increasingly necessary as marine parks around the world continue to move away from housing cetaceans like belugas and killer whales.
