Wondrous and Wild Creatures of the Deep: July 27, 2011

Join Carol Krilla Carson, President of the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA), for a presentation on the unique marine wildlife that live and feed in the waters of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Just off the coast of New England, this area attracts a wide variety of marine wildlife including endangered marine mammals, seabirds and pelagic fish. Those that migrate to the New England waters include humpback whales, North Atlantic right whales, Atlantic white-sided dolphins, harbor seals and gray seals. Large coastal fish also feed off Cape Cod including the giant bluefin tuna, basking sharks, great white sharks and ocean sunfish. Learn how research being conducted is helping scientists better protect and conserve this marine wildlife.
