[nysbirds-l] CRESLI 2010 summer Great South Channel whale and pelagic bird trips -

[Arthur H. Kopelman, Ph.D.]

2010 Great South Channel trip - August 15-17, 2010.  Same price as last
year. Reservations are required and can be made as of March 2010 at
http://www.cresli.org/cresli/reservations/offshore_res.html. 

 

The Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island is a non-profit
research and education organization.  Our mission is:  "To promote and
foster understanding and stewardship of coastal ecosystems through research
and education ."  Part of our work is to observe and document the whale and
sea bird populations of NY and New England and to take people to see these
animals in the wild.  Since 2002 we have been offering  incredible and
successful multi-day offshore pelagic bird and whale observation trips.

 

Our trips have been 100% successful and we have encountered thousands of
pelagic birds over the years .  We've also encountered fin, minke, sei, and
right whales;  common, white-sided, dolphins, pilot whales

 

We are planning  one trip to the Great South Chanel in August 15-17, 2010
(51 hours).   The vessel is the 140' Viking Starship that can sleep up to 65
passengers in navy style bunks. Excellent food will be available at
reasonable prices. Passengers may bring their own food as well. The trips
will be led by a seasoned marine mammal biologist and professor. Volunteers
from CRESLI will assist in photo-identification spotting and data
collection. 

 

 

(1)Our August trip will leave at 7:00 PM on August 15, 2010 and head to
Martha's Vineyard (MV) to pick up (and drop off) passengers.  We expect to
arrive at Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard at approximately 12:30 AM on 8/16;
we leave MV at 1:00 AM and proceed to the GSC.  We should reach the whale
grounds around day break, spend the next 24 hours amongst the whales and
birds of the GSC.  The following morning, we will have the option of either
remaining on the whale grounds, or returning early to Martha's Vineyard for
land-based birding, hiking, or other activities.  The vessel will ultimately
depart Martha's Vineyard at 4:30 PM on 8/17 and return to Montauk at 10:30
PM on 8/17/10. 

1.   Cost = $275 for CRESLI members; $300 for non-members
