SUMMARY:Virtual Speaker Series: Whales of the Southern Ocean with Toby Stephenson
DESCRIPTION:Whales are more than just magnificent creatures that inhabit the world’s oceans. They are crucial drivers of the marine food web\, indicators of ocean health\, and sources of invaluable medical insights\, thanks to the study of their unique physiology through science and conservation efforts. Since the days of old whaling\, when these majestic animals were regarded solely as commodities for profit\, we’ve come to appreciate them not only for their beauty and complex social structures but also for the remarkable adaptations they’ve developed to survive in the harsh\, cold\, and dark environment of the sea. \nJoin Toby Stephenson\, former Boat Shop Alum and graduate of the College of the Atlantic\, as he shares his experiences studying whales in the Gulf of Maine and following them to the Southern Ocean with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions\, where he served as a lecturer and guide. \n\n\n\nToby is a mariner\, educator\, and naturalist. Early in his career\, he worked as a carpenter and cabinetmaker before completing an apprenticeship on the coast of Maine\, where he learned to build and sail small wooden boats. This was a transformative period for him. Immersing himself in the craft of boatbuilding within the community of a small Maine town\, he learned the value of serving others. While there\, a friend suggested he “consider teaching\,” and Toby took the advice to heart. He joined the Chewonki Foundation as an educator and guide\, leading hiking and kayaking expeditions throughout the western mountains and coastal islands of Maine. \nEach month\, experts and individuals linked to The Carpenter’s Boat Shop will share insights on a range of topics\, providing you with the chance to expand your knowledge and explore new ideas. This series fosters meaningful connections within our community and beyond. \nOffered virtually on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 PM EST\, the series is free and open to the public. Don’t miss the chance to engage in these inspiring conversations!
