Dear Marmamers I'm happy to offer a pdf my chapter from the book "Gaining Ground: In Pursuit of Ecological Sustainability" to the readership of Marmam. The chapter's entitled "How shall we watch whales?". There's no abstract. If you'd like a pdf of my chapter, please email me at peter.corkeron@gmail.com For those who are unaware of this new book, it is the result of a forum that IFAW held a couple of years ago at the University of Limerick. Authors include (among others) Sidney Holt, Jeff Hutchings, EJ Milner-Gulland, Justin Cooke and Valerius Geist. It's an interesting mix.
