About This Event
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Shane Gero will be joining us at our 8th annual Wild Ocean Science event. This year's event will be hosted by PBS NewsHour Journalist Miles O'Brien. The Wild Dolphin Project Research Director and Founder Dr. Denise Herzing will provide exciting project updates of WDP's latest research methods, cutting edge technology, and report on the overall health of the community of Atlantic spotted dolphins she has been studying for over 40 years. Dr. Herzing will also be signing books and be available for photos.
In 2005, Dr. Gero founded the Dominica Sperm Whale Project, an innovative and integrative long-term behavioral study of sperm whales in the Eastern Caribbean. He documents the social and vocal behavior of over 20 sperm whale units. Through thousands of hours of observation, he has come to know the whales as different individuals, as brothers and sisters, as mothers and babysitters, and as a community of families, each with their own way of doing things, living together in the Caribbean Sea. Dr. Gero is also the Biology Lead for Project CETI, a non-profit organization and TED Audacious Project applying advanced machine learning and gentle robotics to decipher sperm whale communication. He has talked for National Geographic and TEDx stages and his writing has appeared in the New York Times; and most recently in James Cameron's Emmy award winning Secrets of the Whales from Disney and National Geographic.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of science, community, and conservation. Your ticket includes event entry and access to a lively cocktail hour featuring complimentary food, a cash bar, and time to explore our raffle, merchandise sales, and book signing with Dr. Denise Herzing. Capture the moment with photo opportunities throughout the evening before settling in for a featured presentation by Dr. Gero, offering insight into groundbreaking research and storytelling from the field.
Sponsorship packages are available at checkout and include additional exclusive benefits—such as merchandise vouchers, boat rides, and more—depending on the selected tier.
