CINC volunteers,<br> Judy Willens, Paul Froemming, Carol Celic and myself reached a total of 380+ campsite participants at the four power point presentations given this summer at Leo Carrillo and Carpinteria State beach Parks. The audiences of the after dark presentations got introduced to " Marine mammals of the CINMS & CINP", as described in a previous email. The demographics of these audiences showed an interesting diversion from whale watch . First, a high percentage (50%) were very inquisitive kids under 12, with their parents. Secondly, all except maybe 5% at the most, were California families. <br> These Marine Mammal presentations were akin to our whale watch trips, whale kit and all. Great interest was shown at the end of each presentation to the krill, baleen, and etc. Questions then would branch into other aspects of our CINC mission. These audiences would be tremendously interested in similar presentations focusing on the other wonders of our Sanctuary and Park. Every week these audiences change during the summer. The presentations must be created to fit a one hour time frame, including question and answer period. Attendance was over 100 when State park Rangers were able to drive around the campground announcing the presentation about 2 hours before the shows. This was easy to arrange when I was camping at the site.<br> Thanks loads to Judy, Paul and Carol for helping out! Sincerely, Paul Petrich<br><br /><hr />Talk to your Yahoo!
