It’s time for the South Fork Natural History Museum’s annual panel discussion and question-and-answer session with its Shark Research and Education Team.

On Wednesday at 2 p.m., field researchers will present their recent work and take questions from guests. They will also talk about their affiliation with Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, with which they are evaluating the impact of undersea wind-farm power transmission cables on shark populations.

The program is for all ages and is free to attend, but participants must sign up in advance at sofo.org.
