What happens when the world's biggest fish shares the water with tour boats, snorkelers, and cameras?
Join us for the season opener of Science on Tap, WCU's monthly series where faculty experts bring big ideas to a casual night out.
This month, Dr. Carlos Morales-Ramirez (Department of Geography & Planning) presents:
"Whale Sharks, Maps, and Tourists: Finding Space for Marine Wildlife"
Whale sharks draw travelers from around the globe, but growing marine tourism raises real questions about how we share ocean space with the wildlife people come to see.
Dr. Morales-Ramirez uses mapping and spatial planning to explore where human activity and marine conservation collide, and how we might make room for both.
This event is free and open to all, so bring your family and your questions! There'll be plenty of time to chat with the speaker and fellow curious minds.
Where: Barnaby's Restaurant, second floor · 15 South High Street, West Chester
When: Tuesday, September 29 · Presentation begins at 6:00 PM
Parking: Free parking across the street at the Bicentennial Parking Garage on High Street
