Friends of Kurrawyba will hold a free talk about whales at the Avoca North Surf Club on Thursday, August 22, from 6.30pm.
This follows the success of the group’s grey nurse shark talk held earlier this year where there was standing room only.
“We know the people of the Central Coast, young and old, love our marine creatures, so we hope they can join us for an evening of fascinating fun facts about the giants of the sea,” spokesperson Izabela Sajdok said.
“Guest speakers will be Andrew “Skipper” Jones and Ronny Ling from Terrigal Ocean Tours who will share their tales about getting up close with migratory whales off the Central Coast.
“They will also have some amazing images to share.
“Both presenters are well-known to the community for their appreciation of marine life and their dedication to rescues and marine conservation.”
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
Friends of Kurrawyba will also give an update on its shark mesh petition and future events and initiatives.
“We hope the whole community, everyone who shares our love, respect and appreciation for our coastal lifestyle and the ocean will come along,” Sajdok said.
“Please join us to learn about and celebrate the annual humpback whale migration and gain greater knowledge about marine life.
“This is also a great opportunity to learn about Friends of Kurrawyba and find out how to get involved.”
The Whale Information Night will be held from 6.30pm-8.30pm on Thursday, August 22, at North Avoca Surf Club, 46-50 North Avoca Pde, North Avoca, with the bar open for refreshments.
