3<sup>rd</sup>, at 2 pm. Dr. Russell Fielding, assistant professor at University of the South, will deliver the lecture, the first of our winter/spring 2019 series. The lecture will be held at the James. L. Madden Center Lecture Hall, Sea Education Association,
171 Woods Hole Road, Falmouth. It is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#333333">In the Faroe Islands and St. Vincent & the Grenadines, people hunt pilot whales and other dolphins to produce food for human consumption. This talk describes whaling activities and cultures
in both locations, explores the histories of whaling in these places and worldwide, and addresses the idea of "culturally embedded conservation strategies" - the largely unwritten body of customary rules that develops gradually, through processes of cultural
adaptation to a local natural environment, and performs a regulatory function in the context of natural resource use and conservation. Newly emerged environmental crises, however, threaten to surpass the ability of these conservation strategies and may even
lead to the end of these traditional methods of subsistence.</span><span style="color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
