Sailing to Newfoundland: ultra-fresh codfish, moose sausage, bergs, endless coastal vistas and wonderful people. Marion resident and world-renowned WHOI scientist, Michael Moore, PhD, will describe the summer 2023 sailing cruise he and his wife Hannah Moore (yes, that Hannah Moore!) took around Newfoundland and back.
As the Director of the WHOI Marine Mammal Center, Dr. Moore supports the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s Marine Mammal Rescue and Research division by providing veterinary support for their work with abandoned marine mammals on Cape Cod. The Scope of his research includes the forensic analysis of marine mammal mortalities.
His most recent work, We Are All Whalers, was published in 2021.
