The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History will host a scientific symposium focused on the recently identified and endangered Rice’s whale, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act and other large whale conservation efforts.
The symposium—to be held at the museum Thursday, Nov. 16, in partnership with National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries and the Marine Mammal Commission—features experts from the marine mammal research, conservation and management communities.
