See You at Superpod 5!

Posted June 8, 2016 in News by Michael Mountain

Several members of The Whale Sanctuary Project team will be at Superpod, the annual gathering of orca enthusiasts on San Juan Island, Washington.

This year’s gathering, Superpod 5, runs from July 18th to the 22nd.

It’s open to everyone and you’ll be able to meet an international group of scientists, filmmakers, authors, journalists, former trainers, naturalists, orca advocates and people who want to see killer whales in their natural home.

From whale watching to socializing to presentations, it’s a full week that helps to protect orcas in their natural habitat and bring an end to cetacean captivity.

For details about Superpod 5, go here.

Scholar-Advocacy Conference

This year’s Superpod gathering includes an optional one-day Scholar-Advocacy Conference on marine mammals. If you’re a student or young professional working on marine mammal protection, conservation, welfare and rights by applying your education and skills in any number of areas from science to business to filmmaking, it’s an opportunity to share your work with others of like mind.

The conference is organized by Whale Sanctuary Project director Dr. Lori Marino. Check out the details and the call for abstracts here.
