On Cetacean Sessions #3 on Thursday, April 29th at 4:00 pm Pacific Time guest Russell Fielding will provide an overview of some of the current artisanal cetacean harvesting efforts throughout the North and South Atlantic Oceans. We will discuss his book, 'The Wake of the Whale: Hunter Societies in the Caribbean and North Atlantic' as well as look at three papers he has led authorship on this year: 'Demographic and geographic patterns of cetacean-based food product consumption and potential mercury exposure within a Caribbean whaling community' published in Human and Ecological Risk Assessment, 'Artisanal and aboriginal subsistence whaling in Saint Vincent and Grenadines (Eastern Caribbean): History, catch characteristic, and needs for research and management' published in Frontiers in Marine Science, and 'History of whaling in Annobón, Equatorial Guinea, and new evidence of its continued occurrence' published in the Journal of Cetacean Research and Management. These discussions will be followed by live Q&A with the audience. For viewing/participating we recommend earbuds/headphones and the use of Chrome or Firefox.
