Can't tell a bat star from a leather star? Wondering why that mottled star is standing on its tippy toes? And what kind of meal made that giant pink so chubby? Looking to hang-out with like-minded ocean lovers and find new snorkel buddies? Read on!
What: Phil Lambert (curator emeritus of natural history at the Royal BC Museum, past president of the Victoria Natural History Society and author of Sea Stars of British Columbia, Southeast Alaska and Puget Sound) will talk to us about all things sea stars! He'll cover species identification, habitats, feeding, reproduction and all the latest on seastar wasting disease.
Bonus: Free draw prizes for various seastar goodies and a gift certificate to East 2 West Freediving!
When: Wednesday October 8, 6:30pm. The presentation is followed by the opportunity to meet and mingle.
Where: The COAST Ocean Innovation Hub, 517 Herald Street, Victoria.
Parking: There is paid parking onsite, or free parking a block away (Store Street beyond Herald). There are also bike racks right outside the door.
How much: Free, by donation (suggested $2 to help us cover our costs and buy more prizes for next month!).
RSVP: We have a new RSVP system to make sure we can cater to seating needs. This is not compulsory, but highly recommended and appreciated (thank you!).
