American officials will be in Canada soon to assess health of whales at Marineland
A U-S consortium of aquariums says an emergency rescue plan to import Marineland's whales and dolphins has been approved by the American government.
The park has said it is running out of money to care for the 30 belugas and four dolphins it has left.
Last month, the federal government endorsed a plan to move the animals to four marine parks in the U-S and one in Spain.
The U-S aquarium consortium says officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will soon be in Canada to assess the health of the animals.
