Food for Thought: How we all kill whales

Dr. Michael Moore, Director, Marine Mammal Center at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Cape Cod, will give a public lecture called “Food for Thought: How we all kill whales” on Friday, September 14, at 7:00 pm, in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, Don and Marion McDougall Hall, UPEI.  Human activity in the marine environment is increasingly having an impact on cetaceans—whales, dolphins, and porpoises—sometimes resulting in the unintentional entanglement and death of animals. Dr. Moore will discuss these pressing issues, which concern Canada and other nations that have substantial fishing and shipping industries in marine environments. There is no charge to attend Dr. Moore’s lecture. All are welcome to attend. Dr. Moore's presentation is part of AVC's 2018 Animal Welfare in Practice conference, which is focusing on the timely topic of whale stranding. The conference will take place at the University of Prince Edward Island from September 14 to 15.
