Please join us for a talk from the founder of the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA), a volunteer driven, 501(c)3 nonprofit based in southeastern Massachusetts.  This event will be held at the Smith Conference Room at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI).  

"NECWA focuses on local issues in our area and collaborates with various private, government, and non-government organizations to achieve our many goals."  "As a research non-profit we study the Diamondback terrapin and Mola molas (Ocean sunfish) specifically and the data collected from our projects is used to enhance our understanding of the unique marine wildlife found off our shores. This data is shared with researchers in the United States and worldwide to support conservation and management efforts. As a rescue non-profit NECWA oversees rescues for terrapins and ocean sunfish plus other species that strand each fall and early winter in the communities around Buzzards Bay and along the shores of Cape Cod."  (https://necwa.org/necwa-about.html)
