Our guest for this one is Capt. Eric Pfirrmann, Lead Captain for Save the Bay here in Rhode Island. As some of you more astute listeners may recall, Eric was my first ever guest when I embarked upon this experimental journey.


We begin with an update on the Save The Bay fleet, and Eric brings us up to speed on their latest addition, as well as some of the future roles he foresees that craft playing at Save The Bay.


He gives us a bit of background on the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, and the influence it’s had on the seals we see here in Narragansett Bay.

That of course leads us to a discussion of the current seal watch tours Save The Bay operates. Eric tells us everything we need to know to have an enjoyable trip with his team - good binoculars are a plus - and how to dress and just be prepared in general.


Finally, he talks about the annual Save The Bay Swim with some insight into the planning and logistics that go into organizing this event.


You can learn more and book seal tours by visiting SaveBay.org.
