Marine Mammals & Sea Turtles of the Delaware Coast
The MERR Institute is Delaware's official marine marine mammal and sea turtle stranding response organization and provides rescue and response for the 32 different species of marine mammals and sea turtles that visit Delaware waters.
This program will go over the different animal species, and will include fun and interesting facts about them, as well as interesting and memorable case studies from stranding events. Ocean ecology, marine conservation, and the reasons that animals strand will be covered in the program, which will conclude with simple actions that anyone can take to help to create healthy oceans for everyone. Suitable for adults and children alike!
**Face masks and social distancing are required at all times.** We will meet in the library's upstairs meeting room. Please note that this event is subject to cancellation if we feel that conditions are unsafe due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
