Meetings of ACS Monterey Bay
The Monterey Bay Chapter of the American Cetacean Society normally meets
at 7:30 pm on the last Thursday of the month at
Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, California (across from the
American Tin Cannery Outlet Stores). Meeting date is changed when the
last Thursday conflicts with a holiday. These meetings are free and open
to the public. ACS meetings and activities feature cetacea and various
aspects of the marine environment.

Monterey Bay is an amazing place for marine life. The richness and
diversity of marine life is the result of many factors coming together
right here off our coast. With upwelling currents, a variety of substrates
and very deep water close to shore, this is truly an amazing place to
be on the water to explore, observe and study marine life, and, in particular,
whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Our speaker has spent 6 years as a marine naturalist on Monterey Bay
and she has lots to report on. Lori will share her experiences with
us about the smallest cetacean in the Bay, the harbor porpoise; the
largest cetacean on the planet, the blue whale; and lots of cetaceans
in between. She will highlight the most interesting behaviors and comment
on changes she has noted over the seasons.
This year has been an extraordinary year for cetaceans in Monterey Bay
and Lori will share some of her observations and insights about this
phenomenon as well.
Please join us for a special "Bay cruise" led by Lori. This will be
an informative and entertaining evening about the cetaceans living in
our own Monterey Bay.
