Scuba With Bill

On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of hearing Peter Wallerstein of the Whale Rescue Team give a presentation at the Ocean Adventures club meeting about his organization. His team helps rescue marine mammals and birds that for whatever reason become stranded in local waters. His account of a rescue of a newborn whale calf and it’s mother, both trapped in fishing nets off of Rancho Palos Verdes was quite amazing. His team has also been featured in several local rescues of beached whales in Marina del Rey.

A wonderful cause and an inspiring speaker. Worth checking out their website.
