Project Leader Dr Jennifer Jackson, Project Partner and field team member Dr Joanna Kershaw, and Project Manager Stephanie Martin were invited to participate in “Whale of a Weekend” in Dundee, Scotland. This free event was held at the Discovery Point and V&A Dundee to show the Whale Memorial sculpture and launch the Whaler’s Memory. Three of our team members were invited to participate in this great weekend. Project Leader Jen was part of a panel, “Why public art in a sub-Antarctic oasis?” on Friday night.
Jen, Joanna and Stephanie gave a presentation about the Darwin Plus Hungry Humpbacks and Sustained Monitoring of Whales at South Georgia as part of the South Georgia Whale Researchers talk. It was a great weekend connecting Scotland’s whaling history to the current research about the recovering whale populations in South Georgia!
