| The mission
of the Right Whale Festival is to celebrate right whales and the beginning
of right whale calving season. The
goal is to engage the community and heighten public awareness of both
right whales and the importance of the area as the whales make their
seasonal return to the waters off FL/GA coast -- the only known North
Atlantic right whale calving grounds.
This one-day family festival will feature children’s
activities, music, beach cleanup, a beach run, and other activities geared
towards informing and inspiring the community about right whales, their
habitat, and conservation needs. For more details about the Right
Whale Festival, click here. |
