Dear MARMAM subscribers,
The American Cetacean Society is proud to announce the full-color
special Sperm Whale issue of our ACS Whalewatcher Journal (Spring 2012
Volume 41, Number 1).
This special leviathanic issue is solely devoted to the sperm whale,
Physeter macrocephalus, and delves into the many aspects of sperm
whale ecology, culture, and conservation.
We like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to Hal
Whitehead, who served as our guest editor, and wish to thank all the
authors and photographers who have contributed greatly to this special
sperm whale issue.
