Marine mammal links

This page contains a number of links to marine mammal related pages and some general biology sites. It is by no means a comprehensive listing. Others have already tried to compile complete lists of links and there is no reason to duplicate that effort here. The list has been alphabetized. A number of non-marine mammal links are provided on the Other Links page

This list is intended to present a wide variety of information sources. On this list you'll find scientific information, educational material, information about organizations as well as personal web sites with marine mammal, wildlife and conservation related material. The list contains sites of both supporters and opponents of whaling, captive display, dolphin assisted therapy, dolphin swims and whale watching. Some sites present documented information, other present personal opinions, propaganda or rhetoric. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is which. You can apply Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit to help you make the distinction. See chapter 12: "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection" in:

Carl Sagan 1996.: The daemon-haunted world. Science as a candle in the dark. Headline Book Publishing, London. 436 pp.

Recommended marine mammal links
This is a list of links to sites which can help you get started in your search for more information on marine mammals. Their inclusion here does not necessarily mean that I support the site or share its view. I have included these site because they highlight a certain aspect of marine mammals or focus on a unique group of marine mammals. Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit A must-read for everyone involved in discussions about controversial issues, including whale and dolphin issues. This is an extraction from The Fine Art of Baloney Detection. Animal People Monthly Animal People reports on animal issues and tries to present a balanced view. Año Nuevo One of my favorite places in California and an excellent Web site with information about elephant seals AquaThought Foundation A good starting point for Dolphin Assisted Therapy related questions Caryn's Homepage... The Call of the Siren An excellent site with tons of information about an often overlooked group of marine mammals Dierentuin.Net One of the very few animal information resources in Dutch. The site is set up and maintained by a group of volunteers. I did the marine mammal section of the Animal Database. Dolphin Society The Dolphin Society site is a good-looking site with information about dolphins. It also hosts an authorized Web-enabled (and annotated) version of the alt.animals.dolphins FAQ High North Alliance This site presents information and up to date news on whaling. Nearctica Nearctica presents a lot of resources on natural history, taxonomy, evolution etc. It is a very good starting point for both educators and students. Monachus Guardian A site dedicated to a group of endangered seal species. New England Aquarium The Neaq site is a well-designed site and has a good list of links (Aquatic Resources) The Porpoise Page A site which gives porpoises the attention they deserve and need. Protected Marine Species (by Wesley Elsberry) Wesley's site has been around for quite a while and is still an excellent source of information on marine mammals and a good starting point for further explorations. Seal Conservation Society This site has lots of information about all pinniped species, and is richly illustrated The Society for Marine Mammalogy The site of this scientific organization includes a good career guide for people interested in marine mammal biology. Of course there is also information about its publications (including the journal Marine Mammal Science), the Society itself and conference updates. Särkänniemi Hidden among information about the park is a good information resource on marine mammals. You can reach it directly in the Educational resources section (information available in Finnish and English)
