Online Lecture: Ocean Exploration — Whale Migrations & Conservation

The presentation 'Whale Migrations & Ocean Conservation' was fun to watch and provided lots of interesting facts about various types of whales. I appreciated that the presentation was free! I hope to participate in future presentations like this.

Wonderful lecture. Will have a Whale watching and study on trip to Nova Scotia in August. This was nice info to have in advance.

This was the best Road Scholar online program yet. Informative, engaging, exciting and fun. I wish I could share it with many family & friends and hope it is offered again.

Whales what a fascinating subject. The information (discussion and pictures) clearly communicated the information about the species, feeding habits and migratory routes. I loved her description of conservation being a triangle with education, science and research being required for conservation. I learned that most of the large whales migrate between the tropics and to either one of the poles. Migration occurs for feeding and environmental reasons.

Great instructor and fascinating subject.

Amanda Hunter is a terrific speaker -- engaging, well organized, clear, with great visuals, and clearly passionate about her work and about whales. Much information, beautifully presented at just the right pace for this non-scientist participant. This was time well spent.

This was my first online lecture from RS, and I enjoyed it a lot! I'm very interested in whales, having participated in many whale-watching trips, including Mexico: The Great Gray Whale Migration and Baja’s Natural Wonders (Program No. 12315RJ). This was a well-balanced lecture on many different kinds of whales. The presenter was very knowledgeable, and I felt like the lecture was a valuable use of time. And it was free! Thank you for a very good experience.

this program on whales made me want to take the Road Scholar program to Baja as it was so informative. The speaker was engaging and showed short videos and pictures, making the program even more enjoyable.

Fascinating lecture. The enthusiasm of the lecturer is obvious and contagious. I learned so much about whales and look forward to another lecture by Amanda.

Great speaker with excellent material covered! Whales are fascinating and Amanda Hunter shared a wealth of knowledge with us. I would love to go on an Antarctic trip with her!

Fascinating details about the different types of whales, their habits and threats to their existence. The lecturer is a true expert and very engaging.

A very educational program about one of the majestic creatures on this earth.

Whale Migrations & Ocean Conservation was just wonderful. Amanda is a personable, knowledgeable and interesting presenter. I appreciated how much new information I learned about the benefit that whales provide to our planet. She made me love them even more than I already do.

Speaker did a great presentation on all things whale from around the world including migration routes, diversity of species and conservation efforts. Highly recommend it!

This was an amazing program with a very knowledgeable and interesting host. I thought I knew a lot about whales, but I learned so much from this program. It heightened my desire to see them in person in Antarctica and Svalbard.

I enjoyed the online lecture on whales and their migration. The speaker had a great deal of experience personally with whales and was an excellent speaker, which included her love of her field.

Great program!
