Dive into the world of sharks with Essex Library as we host Kristen Smith of the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) center. Register HERE for this virtual program. This virtual program provides adult audiences with an understanding of the ongoing white shark research projects being conducted and funded by the AWSC, how that research is impacting conservation and public safety efforts, and up-to-date information on what that research has taught us. Audience members will also have an opportunity to view videos and photographs taken during the research season and to develop their knowledge of what a shark is and what is required to conduct white shark research. There will be a short Q&A period after the presentation. This program is FREE and available to the public. Registration is required for this virtual program.
