About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

This is the fifth lecture of our East End Environment Series!

Join SOFO for light refreshments and a presentation with NOAA's Fishery Management Specialist Dr. Tobey Curtis about the sharks of Long Island. Summer is the season for many species of sharks in the ocean near Long Island. Some sharks are just passing through while the water is warm in August, some are here more of the year and shark scientists have been radio tracking sharks for a few years to find out where they go. Knowing who your wildlife neighbors are, what to expect from them and how to respect them is all part of having a great summer at the beach!

This program is for adults, teens, and children ages 8+.
