PLYMOUTH – The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation will hold the second of two September fundraising expeditions today.
Guests supporting the Conservancy and Conservation spotted three white sharks, multiple whale species and two ocean sunfish during the first trip earlier this month.

The Conservation is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins, defending them against the many threats they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, science, and rescue.
The expedition, which leaves from Plymouth on Plymouth Whale Watch vessel Son IV, departs at 8 a.m. and lasts until 6 p.m.
Attendees will be joined by experts in the field including Senior Biologist & Executive Director for Whale and Dolphin Conservation’s North American office Regina Asmutis-Silvia, John Chisholm from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and field naturalist and birder Peter Trull.
