Do you wonder about the marine “washashores” found along the Cape Cod coast each fall? Join marine biologist Carol “Krill” Carson, founder and President of the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA), for a fun and informative talk on these annual strandings of unusual-looking species, which include the ocean sunfish, Atlantic torpedo ray and basking sharks. These migratory fish sometimes have trouble making it out of Cape Cod Bay on their journey south. Learn about NECWA, their rescue and research efforts, and how you can help.

This talk will last between 1-1.5 hours.

Admission for each talk is $5 per person payable at the door by cash, check, or card.
