Jackie Hildering gave a presentation on the return of the humpback whales at our last meeting of the Campbell River Guides Association. She is a very enthusiastic about these big animals. It is amazing how the humpbacks are coming back in numbers and how the are coming back to the inside waters. ( So much so that Jackie wants to warn us to avoid collisions.)
If you are reading this in time, I highly recommend seeing her show, She is doing another one in Campbell River ,Feb 26 , 7 pm at the Maritime Heritage Centre.
"They’re big, they’re beautiful, and they’re back! Join
us on February 26th at the Campbell River Heritage Centre for a discussion on
the return of Humpback Whales to BC’s Coast (7 PM, Rotary Hall, free entry).
Presenter Jackie Hildering is a researcher with the Marine
Education and Research Society and
wishes to share their research with those who are most often on or near the
water and discuss how we can work together to better understand these giants and
the risks they face (for the sake of boater and whale safety). As an avid diver
and underwater photographer, Jackie is also known as “The Marine Detective” with
recent on-camera experience including being featured on Animal Planet’s “Wild
Obsession” series and in the BBC production “New threat to Canada's Pacific humpback whales?” It indeed
promises to be an informative and entertaining! See www.mersociety.org.
