NECWA All Day Marine Adventure Cruises *****Seabird & Whale Tale’s Excursion***** New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance - NECWA and OceanQuest Hands-On Marine Education are hosting an all day excursion to benefit non-profit marine education! - Sunday, June 8, 2008 Join wildlife experts such as David Clapp, of Natural History Services, Wayne Petersen of Massachusetts Audubon Society, and Dr. John Jahoda, from Bridgewater State College, as they head offshore to view seabirds, whales, seals, and large coastal pelagic fish like basking sharks that are found in the waters off Cape Cod. Leave from historic Plymouth Harbor aboard the “Tails of the Sea”, a 110’ luxury commercial whale watching vessel owned and operated by Captain John Boats. Meet at the Town Pier in Plymouth Harbor at 7:30 A.M. to check in. Cruise leaves at 8 a.m. and returns by 6 p.m. that evening. Bring your own food and drink (but please no alcohol or any items in glass containers) or purchase a variety of hot and cold “home-made” foods from the galley and all proceeds support our non-profit marine education organizations. Offshore Activities Include: • Chumming for seabirds • Plankton collection using a plankton net and examination using onboard microscopes • Free onboard raffle where you could win a nature gift including field guides, wildlife DVDs and CDs, bird feeders, hand-made fish-print sweatshirts, NEBShark clothing and more. **Please contribute to the “Green cause!” If you would like to recycle something or have something that is new or gently used that you would like to donate to the raffle event, bring it with you the day of sailing and we will add it to our collection.
