Whalefest Monterey 2022

00:00 /

Whales are the biggest mammals on earth. Although they live quite close to us here in the Monterey Bay, we seldom see them and know even less about their lives. Marine biologist and whale disentanglement expert, Peggy Stap gives us a close-up view on these amazing creatures and the perils they face just trying to survive in a world impacted by human-caused pollution and warming oceans. She also talks about the free festival, Whalefest, happening March 18-20 in Monterey. https://whalefest.org/
