Sharing the Shores: Seals, Science and Society

Apr 09

Talk by Dr. Andrea Bogomolni, Chair, Northwest Atlantic Seal Research Consortium and co-creator of the Seals and Society Exhibit. Dr. Bogomolni will discuss the history, biology and ecology of seals in New England and current public policy debates around their protection under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. 

Sponsored by Bates Center for Public and Global Affairs, Politics, Policy and International Relations, Biology and Geography and Sustainability

 

The “Seals and Society” is a 12-panel traveling exhibit that offers a window, grounded in the biological sciences and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, into the lives of gray and harbor seals in our coastal ecosystem, their remarkable recovery after having been bountied into near-extirpation by the 1960s, and perceptions of seals today. The exhibit will be open for self-guided tours during Frederick E. Berry Library and Learning Commons hours from April 6-17.
