Event information
Join us on June 6th, 2025 at 1:30 PM PDT for a FREE Ocean Day webinar for schools about Sperm Whales! Yes, there are Sperm Whales off the coast of British Columbia.
Our very own Dr. Felicia Vachon is a Sperm Whale expert and will share with students about this unique “creature of extremes”: their enormous nose, big brains, long dives, complex societies, unique vocalizations, and what we know (and don’t know) about them.
Register using the button or QR Code below.
To the non-teacher adults reading here, YES you too can join! The content will be appropriate for all ages but the educational approach will be aimed at elementary school students and they will be the priority for discussion and answering questions.
The webinar will be ~30 minutes followed by ~15 minutes for questions.
Dr. Felicia Vachon obtained her PhD studying Sperm Whale behaviour, communication, and conservation in the Caribbean. Her work focused on how Sperm Whales learn from each other, and how this knowledge, passed down from one generation to the next, influences their lives. She has been working with sperm whale experts all around the world to piece together the many sperm whale mysteries and advocate for their conservation. Felicia is our Research Coordinator.
