[SEMCO] Seabird & Whale Tales excursion scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 13th

[Carol Carson]

Hello: Join us for our Seabird & Whale Tales (SAWT) excursion  
scheduled for Sunday, September 13th from 8 am – 4 pm.  Our  
destination are the waters of Cape Cod Bay and Massachusetts Bay,  
including the waters of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine  
Sanctuary. Here we hope to view seabirds, whales, dolphins, seals,  
basking sharks and ocean sunfish that come to feed off our cold, yet  
productive New England shores.

Enjoy our guided wildlife commentary by Wayne Petersen from Mass  
Audubon Society, David Clapp from Natural History Services, Joanne  
Jarzobski from Captain John Boats and Dr. John Jahoda from  
Bridgewater State College. Travel aboard the “Tails of the Sea”, a  
110’ luxury commercial whale-watching vessel owned and operated by  
Captain John Boats (www.captjohn.com). Leave from the Plymouth Town  
Pier at 8 am and return by 4 pm. While offshore, we will conduct a  
plankton tow and observe our sample under microscopes. We will also  
chum for seabirds and conduct a free onboard nature raffle.

Tickets: Pre-Sale $90 and then $100 after August 31st, 2009.
