Join us for an exciting evening at the historic Old Whaling Church on Martha’s Vineyard with Dr. Greg Skomal, a leading shark expert, accomplished marine biologist, underwater explorer, and author, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic film JAWS. In this insightful lecture, Dr. Skomal will explore how the film shaped our perception of the Great White Shark as a fearsome villain, and how years of research have worked to correct that narrative.

Dr. Skomal, who has spent over two decades studying the behavior and ecology of Great White Sharks, has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of these apex predators. Through his work with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and his collaboration with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, he is leading efforts to protect these incredible sharks and their ocean habitats.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the foremost experts in the field and celebrate the 50th anniversary of JAWS!
