Join us for Ocean Week Canada 2026 for an afternoon of porpoise song with Deanna Musgrave and Andrew Reed Miller!

Inspired by the porpoise communication data collected in the Musquash Estuary Marine Protected Area (MPA), this event will include a presentation by Deanna Musgrave on her painting “Porpoise Echo,” as well as a performance by Andrew Reed Miller of his music composition, which is connected to both the painting and the porpoise communication data. ECW will also describe our porpoise research, and the importance and significance of marine mammal communication in an ever-changing marine environment.

This event will be taking place on June 2nd at the Saint John Arts Centre from 12:15-12:45. Drop by on your lunch break!

This event is hosted by Eastern Charlotte Waterways (ECW) and the Saint John Arts Centre (SJAC) in partnership with Deanna Musgrave and Andrew Reed Miller. No registration is required.

Thank you to Fisheries and Oceans Canada for funding this work.
