Free Webinar with Dr. Naomi Rose, January 14, 2022

The International Marine Mammal Project (IMMP) and Baikal Watch of Earth Island Institute invite you to a free webinar with Dr. Naomi Rose, “Beneath the Surface: The Impact of Captivity on Cetaceans,” about the impact of captivity on whales and dolphins.

Naomi has worked for almost 30 years to end the captive display of cetaceans (whales and dolphins). After spending five years in the field with wild orcas for her doctoral dissertation on male social dynamics, Naomi has studied the impacts of captivity on cetaceans and worked on legal and policy changes related to their captivity. She is currently Marine Mammal Scientist for the Animal Welfare Institute, based in Washington DC. Naomi received her PhD in biology at the University of California Santa Cruz in 1992.

DATE: Friday, January 14, 2022

TIME: 6:00 PM in New York EST (3:00 PM in California PST)

DURATION: 1.5 hours, with the last 30 minutes open for questions

All are welcome to join us.

This webinar is part of IMMP and Baikal Watch’s educational support for Russian activists working to end captures of wild cetaceans in Russian waters for captivity. (Naomi will speak in English, and a Russian translator will provide sequential translation.)

The webinar will focus on the science of cetaceans held in captivity, and will be of interest to all people interested in cetaceans.
