PROVINCETOWN – The Center for Coastal Studies is holding what they call a “virtual dive” into the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Maine National Monument.
The research group has partnered with the Conservation Law Foundation to hold an illustrated tour of the 1,000 year old deep sea coral area located about 150 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.
The canyons are home to endangered whales and a variety of fish and seabird species.
The focus of the event will be on the protection and management of ocean resources. The monument was placed under federal oversight by President Obama in September of 2016.
The event is scheduled for Monday, June 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Hiebert Marine Lab in Provincetown.
Admission is free, but space is limited and reservations are required.
