Option – Adoption of a St-Lawrence Beluga for life
The "Let's adopt a beluga" campaign launched by the Institute in 1988 turned
out to be a significant source of revenue for our research programs. To date, 93
belugas have been adopted and several others are in the process.
By adopting a St. Lawrence beluga, you will be contributing directly to their
research programs and to the survival plan. Make it possible for them to be on
site on your behalf in the coming years.
To date the photo-identification program has allowed them to identify some
300 belugas with distinctive markings: geometric shapes on the skin, scars,
deformations, and characteristic dorsal ridges. Nearly one third of them have
been adopted. Many are still waiting.
At the initiation of the adoption procedure, a few candidates will be suggested
to you. A photograph, along with information pertaining to each individual, will
help you chose your new protégé and find a name for it. Henceforth, your
beluga will be known to members of our research team by the name that you
give it.
The adoptive company will receive:
-a limited edition serigraph of a St. Lawrence beluga signed by the artist, Mr.
Frédéric Back;
-an official adoption certificate: a photograph with an up to date summary of
what we know about this animal;
-a newsletter containing up-to-date information on the advancement of the
Institute's research ;
-free access to the Marine Mammal Interpretation Center (CIMM) in Tadoussac;
-his/her name on a commemorative plaque outlining the donor's support in a
special exhibit at the CIMM
