What's this trip about?

    The southwest corner of the Atlantic Ocean, known as the Patagonian Sea, covers the so-called “Large Marine Ecosystem Patagonian Shelf”, and is one of the richest marine areas on Earth harboring populations of right whales, elephant seals, sea lions, orcas, penguins, and numerous species of birds and fish. In addition to introducing you to these wildlife species, we will also learn about the important conservation work currently being undertaken by our Conservation Partner, Dr. Marcy Uhart DVM, who has been working in Marine Wildlife and Ocean Health conservation programs in this area of coastal Argentina for the past ten years.
