Title: Secret killers of Monterey Bay: a video on the orcas of our areafilmed by Paul and Grace Niska Atkins, with Anne Marie Hammers, narrated byEdward Norton. This new video, made for National Geographic, and recently shown on MSNBC,was created over three seasons by film makers Paul and Grace Niska Atkins,together with Anne Marie Hammers. It was filmed with the guidance ofwell-known local orca authorities Nancy Black and Richard Ternullo. Afterthe video, questions and discussion will be led by Richard Ternullo and AlanBaldridge.

Among several areas of the world where killer whales occur and can bestudied, Monterey Bay is in the forefront of advancing our knowledge of manyaspects of this spectacular predator. Our local orca population is made uppredominantly of "transients" which range from SE Alaska to southernCalifornia and feed mostly on marine mammals with the occasional seabird orother prey. In addition to prey capture the video shows tissue sampling forpollutants and unique footage of the only recorded occurrence of theSouthern resident pods from Puget Sound.
