Whale Sanctuary Project has yet to secure approval from all five owners of property adjacent to where the group plans to build a huge, floating net enclosure for belugas and orcas .

The U.S.-based group won’t be granted a Crown lease for 81 hectares of land and water near Wine Harbour , N.S. , unless the landowners grant unanimous consent.

Executive director Charles Vinick said Tuesday the $20-million project on Nova Scotia’s eastern shore could be derailed.

Vinick said the proposed sanctuary could eventually accommodate up to nine belugas.

The delays have fed speculation that the project is a fundraising scam designed to enrich Marino and Vinick .

Vinick rejected the allegations, saying both are being paid less than they earned at other non-profit organizations.
