MARINE NIGHT

The Whales in our Waters Sarah Patton is a Research Biologist with Ocean Wise’s Marine Mammal Research Program, and Coordinator of its Southern Vancouver Island Cetacean Research Initiative (SVICRI). Come and join us as she talks about the whales in our waters. Sarah will introduce you to BC’s common cetacean species and the threats they face, and talk about Ocean Wise’s research and conservation efforts to mitigate these threats. She will also provide a short course on cetacean ID, equipping you to participate in cetacean conservation as a citizen observer for the BC Cetacean Sightings Network while out on your next coastal adventure. After this talk, you will have all the tools you need to jump in and do your part to protect BC’s cetaceans! Everyone welcome.
