Right whales of the North Atlantic Ocean are the rarest of the great
whales, clinging to existence on the very brink of extinction,
threatened by entanglement in fishing gear and the insidious effects of
climate change. The whales's story, along with efforts by scientists and
conservationist to save them, speaks to the issues of biodiversity,
protection of the oceans, and the conflict between conservation and
economic imperatives. In this illustrated presentation Dr. Mayo of the
Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies will describe the status of the
right whale, their history, and the major efforts to understand and
protect them. Included in this discussion are the results of scientific
studies that will be used to change the ways we manage the Cape Cod Bay
habitat where the right whales, one of the last known winter and early
feeding grounds for the species. $5 Members/ $7 Non-members
