' Margaret Winter 12-19-26-c Refuge sought for the Beluga whale -The graceful white Beluga whale swimming in the St. Lawrence River is headed towards extinction. Though it's been added to Canada's list of endangered species, federal officials predict its disappearance from the river by 1985, unless strong measures are taken to stop its decline. Though it is one of seven sub-species of Beluga in Canada the St. Lawrence whale is the only one to concentrate concentrate so far south of the .Arctic. They.travel in the river because, of the low water températures even ' in summer. summer. ■* Numbering 1 in the thousands at the turn of the cehtury,. the ranks of the Beluga have thinned from 1500 in the 1960's to roughly 300 at the present time. Although excessive hunting has been the major factor in reducing the population historically, the ranking threat today ik clearly habitat destruction. For reasons which remain unknown, many St. Lawrence Belugas congregate for nesting, feeding and breeding at the mouth of the Saguanay River, 200 kilomete'rs northeast from Quebec City. But these same areas are being degraded by pollution, shipping, underwater underwater dynamiting, dumping of fill and various types of development. In addition, these four metre whales, among the smallest species, an" sensitive to observation an : harrassment by boaters. Tour operators sometimes . chase Beluga's to the point of exhaustion just so customers can touch them. They don't realize that after each dive the whales need to breath and rest. Disturbance during this period may lead them to dive again without sufficient oxygen, oxygen, causing panic or even drowning in the case of newborns. Stabilizing the population won't be easy, especially since female Belugas have only only one young at a time, every two years. But both the governments of Quebec and Canada are interested in establishing some type of marine ^sanctuary, including the Saguanay River'estuary, to protect them as much as possible. These efforts are being being encouraged by the World Wildlife Fund (Canada) apd supported by local residents. Unfortunately, arguments about whether it should be a provincial or national park or some 'combination are holding up action to achieve any of these options. No doubt antagonism in Quebec over the federal government's recent purchase of the Mingan Islands for a new national national park further 1 downstream has soured relations relations on this one.
