On January 25th<\/sup> and 26th<\/sup>, the Monterey Fisherman\u2019s Wharf held its 4th<\/sup> annual Whalefest event to celebrate the migration of grey whales. Thanks to the efforts of fellow Pacific Shark Research Center (PSRC) student, Kristin Walovich, the PSRC and Friends of Moss Landing Marine Labs, hosted a booth at the event, speaking to attendees and passersby about what Moss Landing Marine Labs is all about!<\/p>\n

Table attractions for the PSRC included a dehydrated Mako shark head and shark fin from our museum collection, and an anatomical model of a great white that allows you to see the inside of a shark. An interactive matching game, created by PSRC student Jessica Jang, was another favorite allowing people to test their shark knowledge by matching a shark to its description and name. We also showcased a story <\/a>done by Central Coast News, interviewing PSRC director, Dave Ebert, about the lab\u2019s role in international shark research.<\/p>\n
