2Seafaring Presentation at the Fern Ridge Library
The Revillagigedo Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean known for its unique ecosystem. The islands and surrounding waters are regarded as North America’s largest fully protected marine reserve. Hundreds of species of exotic fish inhabit the waters, and sharks, whales, and sea turtles gather here during their migrations.
Ted and Eliza Drummond live aboard a sailing ship and they recently journeyed into these protected waters with special permission. They invite you to come to this free program at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2, to learn more about this special place on earth. Explore undersea vistas and experience seafaring adventures during this hour long presentation. This is an outstanding opportunity to ask questions about life on the ocean and the extraordinary world beneath the surface before they return to their life aboard ship.
This event is part of the Adult Summer Reading Program and a copy of Telling Our Way to the Sea by Aaron Hirsh will be given away that evening. All attendees will be entered in the grand prize drawing to be held at the end of summer! Sign up is not required to attend.
