52nd Annual Meeting of the American Littoral Society
Cape May, NJ
October 25-27, 2013
Set in one of the most beautiful coastal communities on the Atlantic, we
will enjoy the ocean front views from the La Mer Beachfront Inn (www.capemaylamer.com), and
venture out into the natural areas of what has been called "one of the
last best places" for bird watching, whale watching and surf fishing
clinics. Cape May is internationally recognized as one of the most
important migratory bird stop overs in the world, and Delaware Bay is
designated a RAMSAR Wetland of International Significance, home to
horseshoe crabs, sturgeon and other fascinating marine life.
Our
staff naturalists will lead day field trips and night time star and owl
walks, discussions and demonstrations to introduce you to the wonderful
coastal life of Cape May and the Delaware Bay, and presentations on the
work the American Littoral Society is doing to care for the coast here.
We will
be participating in a bird banding demonstration by researchers studying
migratory hawks, go looking for migrating whales traveling past Cape
May on their way back to warmer waters, and have an opportunity to learn
the secrets of surf casting right from the beach in front of the hotel!
And remember - dolphins are often seen right from the rooms of the La Mer
The
weekend is informal, a time to catch up with old friends and meet new
ones, as you explore and learn about the coast in this special place.
Don't miss out - we always discover something special! We look forward
to seeing you.
