The Whale Museum’s Lecture Series:
First You Saw ‘Em, Then You Didn’t and Now You Do Again:
The Return of Harbor Porpoises to San Francisco Bay
Dr. Stern
The Whale Museum continues its Research Lecture Series on Wednesday, July 27 at 7:00pm with Dr. Jonathan Stern of the Golden Gate Cetacean Research Group. Stern will discuss current photo identification studies with Harbor Porpoises, which are being seen frequently in San Francisco Bay for the first time in six decades.
Jonathan Stern, Ph.D. is a biology professor at San Francisco State University and a member of the Golden Gate Cetacean Research group. The GGCR studies the activities of Harbor porpoises in the San Francisco Bay by photographing them from boats and the Golden Gate Bridge. Stern also studies minke whales in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, and has conducted research on killer, pilot, fin, humpback and gray whales, as well as bottlenose dolphins.
The July 27th lecture is free and open to the public, although donations are encouraged.
