Program Description

Event Description

The Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island (CRESLI) whale watching tours provide passengers and scientists with close-up views of spectacular marine animals in their natural environment. Join Dr. Marianne McNamara, CRESLI naturalist and Professor of Biology and Marine Biology at SCCC, for this lecture as she shares stunning photography of whales, dolphins, sharks, pelagic birds and more encountered on these cruises. Discover which species of marine life are commonly found off Long Island, and learn what these encounters are teaching us about their habitat usage and population dynamics here and elsewhere in the North Atlantic.
