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 20 individuals and is decling
at about 50%/year. Visit our website at www.vivavaquita.org for more details.
