we are trying to do the impossible, and compile an annotated bibliography on human interactions with cetaceans. We have already published such bibliographies on birdwatching, turtles/tortoises and elasmobranchs (see link below), but the body of literature on cetaceans is significantly larger, and almost impossible to locate in its entirety. Thus, we are asking for your help: If you have published (or have lists of) any academic work on this, please feel free to email us the details at dotterelpublishing@gmail.com 

What we are looking for:

• Any academic work on whale/dolphin/porpoise watching/swimming (tourism/recreation/leisure). Papers on captivity will be included, as long as they relate to tourism/recreation/leisure.
• Academic works in this context = journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations & theses, conference presentations, (some) reports...
• pdf/word files, or full citations (ideally with DOI or web link in) in the body of the email or as attachments
  

What we are NOT looking for:

• General media and websites, non-academic books (such as ww guides, children's books, etc.)
• Works animal welfare not related to tourism/recreation/leisure, etc.
• Other work on cetaceans (population estimates, pollution and its impacts, non-tourism/recreation vessel impacts, etc): In this case, "human interactions" does not include other activities, such as fishing, hunting, bycatch, etc.

Any help is much appreciated! We will make the final work available free of charge, as we have done with the other bibliographies: https://dotterelpublishing.com/shop/

We are also in the final stages of an annotated bibliography on human interactions with seals, sea lions and walruses, and on one on human interactions with bears (in some jurisdictions polar bears are classified as "marine mammals"), so if you have any material related to those, we'd welcome these as well (same "rules", same email address).

Many thanks!

Be kind, stay safe, break the chain!
