Whales are abundant in the coastal waters of New England, but what is it about the region that makes these ocean giants return year after year? In the next Ocean Classroom (Live!), URI Graduate School of Oceanography alum and NOAA research zoologist Dr. Christopher Orphanides joins host Holly Morin of the Inner Space Center to discuss food web dynamics in the waters of southeastern New England, why they are so important to species such as the endangered North Atlantic right whale, and how these food webs might be changing. You’ll also hear about the latest technologies that scientists use to better understand whales and other animals found in New England waters.
Great for all ages!
