Pender Harbour Wildlife Society will host Jessica Torode-Scott, coordinator of the BC Cetacean Sightings network Feb. 19, 7 p.m. at PH Secondary School. Torode-Scott will be presenting Protecting Whales through Citizen Science. There is an urgent need to protect B.C.’s vulnerable cetacean (whale, dolphin and porpoise) populations. Of the 27 species of cetaceans that live in B.C.’s waters, 12 are listed At Risk. The BC Cetacean Sightings Network is using citizen science and smartphone technology to help protect these iconic species. Join Torode-Scott to learn how to identify cetaceans, about new research and conservation initiatives, and how you can get involved by reporting your sightings.
The Wildlife Society’s AGM will follow the presentation. Free event. All welcome! See www.penderharbourwildlife.com or email [email protected]
