Whale Fiesta
Location: Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, San Pedro, California.
Team Members: Angie Biggs, Sean Canullas, Laurie Dickson, Michael Gasbarro, Erik Lu, Katie McWilliams, Shane McWilliams
Ghost Diving USA had an exciting opportunity to be an exhibitor at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium’s Whale Fiesta! The purpose of the event is to educate the community about the incredible whales that can be seen off of the California coast.
Team members were quick to set up the booth and activities for the day. In honor of Whale Fiesta, we prepared a whale craft for the children attending the event in addition to our usual activities.
The day was a ton of fun! Our booth was next to a table of whale baleens and bones and across from an inflatable humpback whale. Everyone that we spoke to at the event was very excited to talk to us and ask questions about our work. They were surprised to hear about the prevalence of the problem. It was a great day to connect with the community, create art, and enjoy an incredible aquarium. We look forward to next year!
Special thank you to Erik Lu for this video of the day!
