When: January 11, 2021 from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Jackie Hildering for the Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) will be providing a presentation on January 11th. MERS is based on NE Vancouver Island with education efforts being coast-wide. www.mersociety.org
In addition to sharing MERS’ research on Humpback feeding strategies and rate of entanglement, Jackie will discuss how the fortunate return of these giants from the brink of extinction makes increased boater awareness essential to reduce the risk of collision and increase knowledge of what to do if entanglement is witnessed.
