[CINC] Tonight's CINC Lecture 6:30pm Ventura

[Deb4nb at aol.com]

Greetings All,
 
It is a treat for Emily Carlson, Maui HIHWNMS/Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale 
National Marine Sanctuary Volunteer Programs and Outreach Coordinator, to be 
able to visit and share with us tonight. (Scroll below email for Emily's bio.) 
 Let's make sure to give her many warm Welcomes and our own CA Aloha Spirit! 
 
As many of you know, Maui is a saturated hub for breeding and calving 
humpbacks.  In addition to that specific topic, Emily will show footage/videos from 
the disentanglement team Ed Lyman and David Mattila.  There will also be talk 
on the HIHWNMS designation, boundaries, regulations, hot topics, research, 
their many education/outreach/volunteer programs (including the Turtle Stranding 
Program), and a touch on PMNM/Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.   
 
This lecture will definitely be a must-see, and valuable information for us 
in the Naturalist education field!
