Presents
“Marine Mammal Response – What Are We Learning?”
with Brian Sharp of IFAW

  BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster is proud to present  IFAW 
<http://www.ifaw.org/united-states/about-us/animal-rescue/brian-sharp>Marine 
Mammal Rescue and Research Manager, Brian Sharp 
speaking about “Marine Mammal Response-What Are 
We Learning?” Sunday, February 19, 2017 at 1pm.

Cape Cod is one of the top stranding hot spots in 
the world with dolphins and whales washing up on 
our shores regularly year after year. A trained 
eye can spot severe neck entanglements harming 
multiple gray seals in any large haul out. The 
International Fund for Animal Welfare is on the 
scene to help these distressed animals. Come find 
out what IFAW staff are learning from these hands-on rescues.
Brian Sharp is the Manager of IFAW’s Marine 
Mammal Rescue team dedicated to protecting marine 
mammal species including dolphins, whales, 
porpoises and seals along the coast of Cape Cod 
to Rhode Island. The team is on call 24/7 and 
responds to animals in crisis as firefighters 
respond to fires. Whether a pod of dolphins is 
stranded on the beach or a seal is entangled in 
fishing line or whale skull needs to be unearthed 
for DNA analysis – Brian and his team are there 
to rescue animals and conduct scientific research.

Free with Museum Admission.
