<u>Large whale vocalizations program </u>at the Marion Natural History Museum, 8 Spring Street second floor. July 25 at 6:30 to 7:30. Erin Burke, Protected Species Program Manager – MA Division of Marine Fisheries, will be sharing DMF’s new passive acoustic
monitoring network in Massachusetts state waters and adjacent areas. These monitors collect information on large whale vocalizations, including the endangered North Atlantic right whale. DMF will use this information to enhance our understanding of the spatial
and temporal presence of large whales; inform dynamic management of season fishing gear closures and vessel speed restrictions to protect right whales; and aid in the development of effective and efficient conservation measures. Let’s learn more about how
this study will be helpful in protecting our local whale populations. A $10.00 donation to the Marion Natural History Museum is greatly appreciated. To register please go to the Museum's website: www.marionmuseum.org. </div>
