Émission de la BBC UK en lien avec le grand rassemblement citoyen en mai à Tadoussac. Cest en anglais : Belugas Duration: 28 minutes First broadcast: 02 September 2014 bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b04fz4vn The St Lawrence River in south east Canada is a popular spot for many species of whale including a resident small population of the worlds only entirely white whale, the beluga. Plans to build a new terminal in the St Lawrence to ship oil from northern Canada to the rest of the world have made some of the residents of one particular tourist town particularly concerned. The protesters claim the development will be right at the heart of the belugas critical habitat, which at worst could threaten the future survival of this small population. As the demand for oil increases are some wildlife casualties inevitable? And as attention turns further north into the icy waters of the Arctic are we adequately prepared to clean up in the event of a spill?
