Celebrate the return of the Grey Whales to the Monterey Bay at the Whalefest Monterey 2013 event this weekend Saturday, January 26th and Sunday, January 27th !
This event aims to bring public awareness to the marine non-profits that influence the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary by offering a variety of fun activities, events, and exhibits from over thirty organizations.
Our very own Pacific Shark Research Center will have a booth set up this weekend! Find us at the Causeway at Old Fisherman’s Wharf from 9am to 5pm.
