<i> </i></b>BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in
Brewster is proud to present IFAW

Marine Mammal Rescue and Research Manager, Brian</a> Sharp speaking about
“<i>Marine Mammal Response-What Are We Learning?” </i><b>Sunday, February
19, 2017 at 1pm.<br><br>
</b>Cape Cod is one of the top stranding hot spots in the world with
dolphins and whales washing up on our shores regularly year after year. A
trained eye can spot severe neck entanglements harming multiple gray
seals in any large haul out. The International Fund for Animal Welfare is
on the scene to help these distressed animals. Come find out what IFAW
staff are learning from these hands-on rescues.<br>
Brian Sharp is the Manager of IFAW’s Marine Mammal Rescue team dedicated
to protecting marine mammal species including dolphins, whales, porpoises
and seals along the coast of Cape Cod to Rhode Island. The team is on
call 24/7 and responds to animals in crisis as firefighters respond to
fires. Whether a pod of dolphins is stranded on the beach or a seal is
entangled in fishing line or whale skull needs to be unearthed for DNA
analysis – Brian and his team are there to rescue animals and conduct
scientific research.<br><br>
<b>Free with Museum Admission.<br>
