This event will feature talks by Dr. Michelle Fournet (Assistant Professor, UNH) and Dr. Michelle Caputo (Assistant Professor, UNE). They will discuss marine mammal ecology around the globe with a focus on the Arctic and Caribbean seas, as well as observations of these large mammals in the Gulf of Maine. They will share some results of their studies on how animals communicate underwater, how ocean ecosystems are changing, and how the populations of these mammals impact the local ecology. We will also hear about the local mammals in the Gulf of Maine from UNH’s resident vet pathologist, Dr. Inga Sidor.
Doors open 5:30pm and talks will start at 6pm.
Food and drink will be available to purchase during the event.
All ages welcome.
