There has been a lot of exciting whale activity in the bay recently. Porpoises have made a come back and humpback whales have been entering the confines of the Golden Gate Bridge to feed. Needless to say, they’ve been making quite a splash. Look forward to our October Currents section to learn more about the humpbacks, but in the meantime, head over to the Marine Mammal Center this Sunday to learn about other top predators: sharks and orcas. The size, strength and skills of the ocean’s top predators are simply one of a kind. The Marine Mammal Center’s free ocean-inspired series is led by education experts who also recommend teaming up for free classroom programs at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. with a docent-led tour at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. or 3 p.m. for a truly immersive experience.
If You Go:
When: Sunday, September 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Fort Cronkhite 2000 Bunker Road, Sausalito
Cost: Free
