Upcoming Events and Programs:
September 12: Summer Lecture Series: A Tale of Two Whales: A Comparative Study of Southern and Northern Resident Killer Whales. Join us on September 12 at 7 p.m. at The Whale Museum for an evening of education with Dr. Sheila J. Thornton. Two fish-eating resident killer whale populations share the waters of the northeast Pacific, foraging on many of the same salmon stocks and experiencing similar threats to survival. How does the northern resident killer whale population exhibit a steady growth of 2-3% a year, while the southern residents are failing to thrive? While there are more questions than answers, some striking differences are emerging. Come and learn about what we have discovered, and what research is underway. Free and open to the public!
September 26: The Whale Museum Open House. Join us on September 26 from 6-7:30 p.m. at The Whale Museum for a chance to meet the staff and explore the museum after hours! Learn about our current and upcoming projects! Snacks and drinks will be provided. FREE and open to all!
