Birch Aquarium presents the September Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture with a conversation about ocean noise pollution and its impact on whales. Join Scripps Institution of Oceanography Acoustical Oceanographer Vanessa ZoBell for a deep dive into the importance of studying whale acoustics and how this research is being used to understand threats that whales are facing in the modern ocean. Learn how data-driven, creative solutions are being developed to protect these important animals.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7. Tickets are free for members and $12 for the general public. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended.
