Lectures Highlight Research and Conservation
Special Program for Teachers

There are no Wrong Whales or Left Whales, but there are Right Whales -- and they are found in our backyard. These behemoths, measuring up to 50 feet long and 50 tons, visit Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary to feed in our rich waters. But with less than 400 animals in the population, the North Atlantic right whale is critically endangered. The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (N.A.) and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary are proud to present leading experts who will discuss ongoing studies of right whale biology and behavior and conservation efforts to save this species from extinction.
