SUMMARY:Seafloor garbage in the Salish Sea: Taking out the Trash
DESCRIPTION:Join our final NEMO talk in the series where Susan Anthony will talk about the unseen underwater trash that fills up nearshore environments. \nHuman-made debris enters the water and disappears below the surface. There it stays\, smothering the sediment and its organisms\, leeching pollutants\, and breaking into smaller and smaller pieces\, but never going away. SeaChange and its partners have spent the last decade restoring and conserving nearshore habitats\, which includes underwater debris removal. \n“I am a passionate and curious scientist\, natural historian\, and conservationist. I have a BSc from the University of Victoria in Biology with a minor in Ocean Sciences”\, Susan Anthony. \nRead more about this event on our Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival website. \nZoom link for all NEMO talks here. \nMeeting ID: 818 3759 1199 \nPasscode: 147467 \nPhoto Credit: Susan Anthony

SUMMARY:Citizen Science in Action!
DESCRIPTION:Come down on Wednesday June 5 and participate in our Citizen Science in Action event! \nDianne Sanford from Friends of Forage Fish will be hosting a hands-on sampling session at Friendship park in Sechelt. Come down to learn about what we do when we sample the beach for surf smelt and pacific sand lance eggs. \nDianne has been coordinating forage fish sampling on the lower Sunshine Coast for several decades.  She works with volunteer citizen scientists to determine sand lance and surf smelt spawning presence at local beaches\, information which was previously undocumented.  This information is then submitted to a central database for public information. \nWe will also discuss the importance of these fishes to all of us\, and their connection to eelgrass and orcas. \nWear your gumboots. Citizen science in action! \nRead more about this event on our Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival website. \nPhoto Credit: Dianne Sanford

SUMMARY:Marine Impacts of Private Moorage in kalpilin (Pender Harbour)
DESCRIPTION:What are the impacts of private moorage in kalpilin (Pender Harbour)? \nJoin our NEMO talk on June 3rd to hear from Sacha O’Regan\, lead scientist on the M.C. Wright Report. Sacha is a professional biologist who has worked in the realm of freshwater and marine aquatic ecology in BC since 2010. \nDocks and other overwater structures are common features along urbanized shorelines. Though these structures can provide commercial and recreational opportunities\, they may also have adverse impacts on the marine environment and other coastal land uses. In March 2018\, the environmental consulting firm M.C. Wright and Associates Ltd. concluded a two-phase study of dock impacts on the marine environment in Pender Harbour. \nPhoto Credit: Sacha O’Regan \nRead more about this event on our Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival website. \nZoom link for all NEMO talks here. \nMeeting ID: 818 3759 1199 \nPasscode: 147467

SUMMARY:Watch Patrick and the Whale
DESCRIPTION:Using stunning underwater footage\, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale\, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity\, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. \n  \nAn inspiring and engaging tale of Patrick Dykstra and a sperm whale “Dolores.” \n  \nFor years\, Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to traveling the globe\, following and diving with whales. Over the years\, Patrick has learned how whales see and hear\, how they perceive other creatures in the water and how they behave at close quarters. He has a finely tuned sense and knows how to act when within touching distance of a whale – what to do\, what not to do and when. This allows him to consistently get closer than anyone else alive – a truly unique skill. \n  \nPatrick recently experienced a life-changing event. In Dominica\, he had a close encounter with a female sperm whale. She seemed to be curious about him\, coming within touching distance\, pulsing him with her sonar. She studied him as he studied her. Patrick felt an overwhelming sense that she was genuinely trying to communicate. \n  \nWe follow Patrick as he travels to Dominica again to find this special whale he named “Dolores” so she can help him show us the hidden world of her species. Using stunning underwater footage\, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale\, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity\, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. The film follows his personal journey and explores the psychology of a man who has sacrificed everything in his single-minded quest to connect with and understand one of the the biggest creatures in the ocean. \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nDetails \n📍 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre \n🗓 Sunday June 2\, 2024 \n⏰️ 7pm (doors at 6:30pm) \n📽 Admission by donation
