SF Bay Area American Cetacean Society Chapter and Oceanic Society are creating a program to bring whale naturalists to Bay Area classrooms. Proceeds from these trips will benefit a new "Whale Science in the Classroom" program, which will include lectures by field naturalists and videos about topics ranging from whale echolocation to humpback whale migration to how to become a scientist.
