SCIENCE SERIES
Science Presentations & Expert-led Lectures
FREDERICK SOUNDINGS
Our adult outreach program includes the Petersburg Science Series, which is a monthly science seminar program. We host scientists and professionals to discuss a variety of natural sciences topics including humpback whale research, cephalopod intelligence, fisheries management, deer and moose population biology, and special presentations by National Weather Service marine forecasters.

The Petersburg Science Series is a collaboration between Petersburg Marine Mammal Center, Alaska Sea Grant and Petersburg Public Library. It is made possible with generous support from the Petersburg Community Foundation.
