A series of right whale lectures will be offered in both Boston and 
Brewster (Cape Cod) during the months of March and April sponsored by 
the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary and the Whale and Dolphin 
Conservation Society.  The Boston lectures at UMass Boston are free 
(small fee for parking) and the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History 
lectures have a small fee for entry (but free parking).  There is a 
special additional program for educators that offers 12 PDPs.

Boston sessions are:  March 12, 19, 26, April 2, 9, 23.

Cape Cod sessions are:  March 7, 14, 21, 28, April 4, 11.

The North Atlantic Right Whale is one of the most endangered great 
whales in the world with a population estimated at under 400 
individuals.  Today, several exciting research and conservation efforts 
are hoping to turn the tide for this fascinating species.  Join us over 
the next two months as leading experts discuss the status of this 
species and efforts to better understand its biology and behavior.

Additional support for this program is provided by the Cape Cod Museum 
of Natural History, the Urban Harbors Institute/UMass, and the North 
Atlantic Right Whale Consortium.  For any questions regarding this 
program, contact Anne Smrcina at the Stellwagen Bank National Marine 
Sanctuary, 781-545-8026 x204 or email anne.smrcina at noaa.gov
