Marine Mammal Monday: Whales in San Francisco Bay
Ages: 10-14 years old
- Species conservation
- Entanglement
- Natural history
- Sustainable seafood
- Ocean trash
This month we celebrate the biggest eaters: whales! During this recorded virtual program, we'll dive into feeding habits, the who's who of whales in the San Francisco Bay and more as we explore how The Marine Mammal Center works with whales. Plus, watch to learn how our work tracking whales has helped with the conservation of these species.
Then try out saving whales! Use this migration mystery activity to see if you can use data to understand how we can best help whales!
