CALVIN !!!!! 💪🏻

Meet the Calvineers, a passionate group of 7th and 8th graders from Adams School in Castine, Maine, who have spent the last 20 years advocating for the survival of North Atlantic right whales.

At the Blue Ocean Symposium, they’ll share the inspiring story of Calvin, a resilient right whale who survived her mother’s death from a ship strike, multiple entanglements, and still went on to give birth to four calves. The Calvineers will highlight the biggest threats facing right whales today and the solutions needed to ensure their survival.

Join us on March 28 at the Star Theatre in Kittery, ME, and be inspired by the next generation of ocean advocates! Register now at https://www.blueoceansociety.org/symposium/!
