Daniel Williford will be speaking to us at the March 2, Docent Meeting. We have seen Daniel hiking and kayaking in the cove and wishing we knew more about what he was learning and who he was reaching with his nationwide education program.
We know through experience that each day brings a new adventure at Whalers Cove both on land and sea that really is full of discovery. So it makes sense that State Parks partnered with National Geographic in exploring the Cove by way of a mini-ROV. It becomes our eyes, enabling us to see a major part of Point Lobos, the underwater part! Daniel will share some of these discoveries he has made, what he is doing (and can do) with this information, as well as some lessons learned along the way.

Daniel has been working for California State Parks for 20 years, interpreting nature from the redwoods the north to parks in Southern California. Being aware of the rich legacy of Point Lobos, he seized the opportunity to take the interpreter position here when it became available. He and his wife, Ashley now live in Monterey. He studied Environmental Studies at Sonoma State University and Education at Dominican University.
