The Whale Museum will be celebrating Earth Weekend this year with two educational workshops that focus on the noise pollution epidemic that is having devastating effects on ocean life – Gear Up on April 23rd, and C.A.L.F. (Community Action — Look Forward) on April 24th.
Cetaceans have evolved physically to use sound as their main communication tool to find food, mate, travel and to defend themselves from predators. These basic functions are being seriously undermined by the acoustic disturbances caused by commercial, industrial and military activities.
Also, the film Sonic Sea will be shown at the museum on April 24 at 10:00 am. This film explores this complex problem that is plaguing our oceans. If you cannot be in Friday Harbor on , screenings are being held in many other communities throughout the world.
