Hello: Join us for our Seabird & Whale Tales (SAWT) excursion scheduled for Sunday , September 13 th from 8 am – 4 pm. Our destination are the waters of Cape Cod Bay and Massachusetts Bay, including the waters of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Here we hope to view seabirds, whales, dolphins, seals, basking sharks and ocean sunfish that come to feed off our cold, yet productive New England shores. 

Enjoy our guided wildlife commentary by Wayne Petersen from Mass Audubon Society, David Clapp from Natural History Services, Joanne Jarzobski from Captain John Boats and Dr. John Jahoda from Bridgewater State College. Travel aboard the “Tails of the Sea”, a 110’ luxury commercial whale-watching vessel owned and operated by Captain John Boats ( www.captjohn.com ). Leave from the Plymouth Town Pier at 8 am and return by 4 pm. While offshore, we will conduct a plankton tow and observe our sample under microscopes. We will also chum for seabirds and conduct a free onboard nature raffle.
