Meetings of ACS Monterey Bay

The Monterey Bay Chapter of the American Cetacean Society normally meets at 7:30 pm on the last Thursday of the month at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, California (across from the American Tin Cannery Outlet Stores). Meeting date is changed when the last Thursday conflicts with a holiday. These meetings are free and open to the public. ACS meetings and activities feature cetacea and various aspects of the marine environment.
