Real Hope for a False Killer Whale: Chester's Second Chance

On July 10, 2014, Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre staff were alerted to a young false killer whale in distress near Tofino's North Chesterman beach. As Canada's only team of professional rescue staff readily available to save stranded cetaceans, our staff were brought in from Vancouver to save the stranded whale.
