Spinnaker is the new 36-foot humpback whale skeleton installed at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown in 2017. Spinnaker was an 11-year-old humpback, known to the Center since she was a calf, who tragically died after suffering many fishing gear entanglements through her short life. Hear her story and marvel at images of the only large whale skeleton on Cape Cod, and the only whale skeleton in the world with the entanglement that led to her death still lodged in her bones. This program is suitable for all ages and tells the important message of long-term scientific studies and conservation efforts, as well as serious threats marine animals still face today.  Jesse Mechling is the Director of Marine Education at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown. The ocean and ocean life are one of his great passions, and he relishes his role introducing a new generation to the wonders of the ocean. A lifelong visitor to Cape Cod and permanent resident since 2008, he received a masters from the University of Rhode Island in Marine Affairs and was a 2005 John Knauss Marine Policy Fellow in Washington DC working for the National Ocean Service. He has over two decades of experience working in marine policy and education, and has been with the Center since 2009. He lives in Eastham with his family.
