On Thursday, November 1 at 7 pm the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History will
present Gentle Giants of Cape Cod Bay - the Ocean Sunfish and the Basking
Shark with Carol "Krill" Carson, President of the New England Coastal
Wildlife Alliance.

 

This program is free to the public. Free will donation.

 

With a background as marine biologist and Outreach Coordinator for the
Captain John Boats out of Plymouth, MA, "Krill" has studied whales, sea
turtles, ocean sunfish, basking sharks and other marine animals off Cape Cod
since 1980.

 

Her fascinating program will focus on the ocean sunfish and the basking
shark, two very unusual fish that migrate great distances to summer in the
waters off Cape Cod. Learn about their travels as they filter copepods at or
near the water's surface. Find out how you can get involved by reporting
your sightings of these large coastal pelagic fish - live or dead - to Krill
through NEBShark, a community-sighting network. Learn why they strand and
how you can help save them.
