Wednesday, April 26th, 2017
8:00 PM to 9:30 PM

Presenter Jackie Hildering is a researcher with the Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) and wishes to share MERS' research and discuss how we can work together to better understand Humpback Whales and the risks they face.


Information will include research on Humpback feeding, rate of entanglement, efforts to increase awareness around collisions, and what to do if entanglement is witnessed.


As an avid diver and underwater photographer, Jackie is also known as the "Marine Detective" with recent on-camera experience including being featured on Animal Planet's "Wild Obsession" series and in the BBC productions "New threats to Canada's Pacific Humpback Whales?" and "Ingenious Animals". It indeed promises to be informative and entertaining.  See www.mersociety.org


No charge. Optional - the Cape Lazo Power and Sail Squadron will accept donations at the door, which will be presented to MERS
