Please join us as we hear from marine biologist and killer whale expert Nancy Black. Nancy started Monterey Bay Whale Watch 34 years ago guaranteeing her regular on-the-seas observations and study of marine life in what is known as the "Serengeti of the Oceans". She has been photo-identifying Monterey Bay killer whales and studying their distribution, natural history, and behavior for 30 years. We are pairing this exciting talk with a community whale watch with Nancy in Monterey Bay on April 5 and an art auction of Firuze Gokce’s “J63 and her Mom Diving into the Kelp Forest”. Details follow.
