🧠 Lecture: "What Wildlife Rehab Teaches Us About Ocean Health"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Christine Parker-Graham
Join us for a fascinating evening exploring how marine wildlife rehabilitation reveals the hidden health of our oceans. At SR3, Washington state’s only dedicated marine animal hospital, veterinarians care for seals, sea lions, sea turtles, and porpoises in need of critical medical attention.
Dr. Christine Parker-Graham, a wildlife veterinarian at SR3, will walk you through the journey of a typical seal patient—from rescue and intake through treatment and release—and what each step tells us about pollution, entanglement, disease, and other threats facing marine ecosystems.
Dr. Parker-Graham is a graduate of the UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine and a diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine in Wildlife Population Health, with over a decade of experience in free-ranging wildlife and rehabilitation. She has advanced training from Cornell University and UC Davis in wildlife, zoo, and aquatic animal health, and special interests in welfare, anesthesia, analgesia, wound care, and ophthalmology.
Come learn how individual animal stories reflect the broader state of our ocean—and what that means for all of us. Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌
