Help Protect Whales by Joining the ‘Whale Avoidance’ Online Event

We often share news about seminars that focus on sailing and general boating education or news. But we don’t recall having shared news of a seminar that focuses on whales, until now. Local sailor and Latitude friend Jim Haussener sent us the the following info.

The world is watching. Whale safety is at the forefront of people’s minds around the globe. The yachting community is in a prime position to make a difference and use knowledge and technology to lead the way in preventing whale strikes. Learn how you can do your part in whale protection.

This roundtable of experts will cover topics like:

What does it mean that whales are endangered?
What are typical whale habitats?
How can vessels find/avoid whales?
How can the yachting industry contribute to preserving whales?

Moderator: Gill Rodrigues (The International SeaKeepers Society)
Panelist: Matt Zimmerman (FarSounder)
Panelist: Vienna Eleuteri (Water Revolution Foundation)
Panelist: John Depersenaire (Viking Yachts/WAVS Taskforce)
Panelist: Amy Whitt (Azura)

Don’t miss out! Sign up now to be a part of the conversation and ultimately, the solution.

The International SeaKeepers Society promotes oceanographic research, conservation, and education through direct involvement with the yachting community. We think this seminar is worth a look.
