CORE's mission is to promote stewardship and conservation of cetaceans and
their marine environment. An important part of our mission is education. CORE offers whale
and marine life presentations ranging from one hour to six hours for students of all ages.
We have a wide variety of media for presentation, primarily in the form of slides (with
accompanying audience interaction), audio, video and hands-on artifacts including bones,
whale baleen and plankton samples. We also offer a large variety of activities that
involve student participation such as a life-sized inflatable whale (your students can
actually go inside the whale!), as well as smaller in-class
projects like marine-related puzzles, word-searches, etc. We can also provide
presentations on the Internet and where to go for information, if your school has the
technology available.
All presentations are given by CORE staff researchers who spend 6-7 months
of the year in the field with whales, and who have extensive experience with students of
all ages and public speaking. Our fee is $125 for an hour-long presentation, plus
expenses. Our visit includes a complimentary year-long whale adoption of a humpback whale
for your group or classroom. Find out more about our whale
adoption program HERE!
