Speaker: Gealin Rosenwaks – Marine Scientist, Filmmaker, Author
Topic: Studying the Ocean: From Plankton to Sperm Whales!
Description: For centuries, we have been fascinated by the sperm whale, the world’s largest toothed predator. Like many of our co-inhabitants on the planet, sperm whales were nearly hunted to the brink of extinction. While the most famous sperm whale of all is Moby Dick, it was a young male nicknamed Physty—who fell ill in the early 1980s and came ashore just off Long Island, New York that captured the heart of Gaelin Rosenwaks and started her on a career in marine science—studying, protecting, and documenting the world’s most marvelous ocean species. In her new book, SPERM WHALES: THE GENTLE GOLIATHS OF THE OCEANS (Rizzoli, 2022), Rosenwaks gives you a beautiful look at these magnificent animals. In her presentation, Gaelin will take you on a journey from satellite tagging Bluefin Tuna in the Western Atlantic Ocean to drilling ice cores in the frozen Bering Sea to the bottom of the Blue Hole in Belize, in order to illuminate cutting-edge scientific research being conducted to understand the complexity of our ocean ecosystems. Gaelin hopes to heighten people’s awareness and sense of responsibility to preserve the health of our planet.
Bio: Gaelin Rosenwaks is a marine scientist, explorer, photographer, filmmaker and author of “Sperm Whales: The Gentle Goliaths of the Oceans” (Rizzoli, 2022). She began her career at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution conducting research in Antarctica and then earned her Master’s Degree in Coastal Environmental Management from Duke University researching Giant Bluefin Tunas. Alarmed by the changes happening in the oceans, Gaelin founded Global Ocean Exploration Inc to share her passion for ocean exploration, marine conservation and storytelling. She now participates and conducts expeditions in every ocean to alert the public not only to the challenges facing the oceans, but also to what science is doing to understand these changes. A Fellow of the Explorers Club and Royal Geographical Society and Member of the Society of Women Geographers, she has published articles in scientific journals, newspapers and magazines and has delivered lectures at global conferences and many institutions. She has appeared as an expert and host on TV programs including on The Discovery Channel, Science Channel, CBS News, and National Geographic Channel, and is one of the few women to be featured on the cover of Outside Magazine. Her photography has been displayed in many exhibitions, including solo exhibitions at Duke University, The Maritime Aquarium, and the Patagonia Upper West Side Store in NYC. To Gaelin, a licensed Coast Guard Captain, there is nothing better than being in the open ocean surrounded by endless blue water and passing wildlife. A childhood experience seeing a Sperm Whale has led her on her current quest to reconnect with these ocean giants and to her first book of photography, “Sperm Whales: The Gentle Goliaths of the Oceans” (Rizzoli 2022)

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Milena Arango was born in Cali, Colombia, in 1978. Because of her mother’s studies, Milena grew up traveling in her childhood and later, as an adult, decided that was the turn she needed in her work. She graduated from Visual Arts in Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in 2001 and then took a journey in theater for a few years.
She’s a passionate and dedicated artist, always finding new ways to keep her work dynamic and motivated.

Juno Beach Historical Society presents
“The Dramatic Opening of Palm Beach and the Lake Worth Region”
As late as the mid-1880s, the region around Lake Worth was so inaccessible by land and sea that only a few dozen families dared to settle here. The opening of the 7 1/2-mile Celestial Railroad in 1889, linking the Indian River Lagoon in Jupiter to Juno on Lake Worth, served as the gateway for residents, goods, and tourists. This photo-rich presentation, largely sourced from the HSPBC archives, will include vivid before-and-after views of a transformative five-year period.
