MARINE MAMMAL BOOKS AVAILABLE
¡VIVAVaquita! (a non-profit
organization) has many marine mammal books, reprints, monographs, and journals
that are available for a donation to the organiation. All funds raised will be actively used for
research and conservation work on the vaquita (Phocoena sinus), the world’s most endangered marine mammal species.
The global population of this species now
numbers less than 30 individuals and is decling at about 50%/year. Visit our
website at www.vivavaquita.org for
more details. For a full list of books
available, or if you have any marine mammal literature you would be interested
in donating or ‘selling’ to us, please contact Tom Jefferson at sclymene@aol.com. HC=harcover, PB=paperback.
