 So what about those two belugas who are now in Valencia? Well, Dr. Paraga says that they seem to have settled in nicely and he hopes that they can soon join the aquarium's resident beluga family. He also sees them as helping fulfill the objectives of what he calls the modern aquarium. One goal is to encourage humans to be curious about nature and to want to protect it. Another goal is research. They want to better understand whale behavior and how changes in the environment impact them.
