The Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn will host Al Segars on January 15 at 3 pm for “Whales of South Carolina.” Several species of whales visit the South Carolina waters either in search of food or to give birth. Among those, the North Atlantic Right Whale, one of the most endangered species of whale in the world, with numbers estimated in the few hundreds. Dr. Segars will cover the natural history of the whales that visit our waters and their current status along with threats and challenges. Dr. Segars is a Veterinarian with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources with a long career studying the endangered and threatened species on our coast.
