The next virtual webinar sponsored by the American Cetacean Society (ACS) will be held on Wednesday November 8 at 7:00pm over Zoom. Jeffrey Huston will be the speaker. No registration is required.

About the Presentation:

Please join as we venture to an extremely remote Alaskan island near the Gray Whale summer feeding grounds and Russian border.
 
Jeff’s glimpse of the unique Siberian Yupik culture and ancient perspective of Arctic marine mammals will be shared. Fossil records indicate the Yupiks living on Sivuqaq (Saint Lawrence Island) in the Bering Sea have survived this harsh environment for at least two thousand years. He will explore the ancestral whale boneyards and briefly discuss special amendments for Native Americans included in the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the International Whaling Commission’s regulations for aboriginal subsistence whaling.  Join us for this free and engaging presentation.
