The following books which I have authored about using GIS in marine biological research are now available (they were released between January and June 2015), and which I hope will be of interest to the marine mammal research community:

 

1. An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook Six -  Introduction To Creating Custom GIS Toos - RRP £19.99//U$29.99:: This book provides five practical exercises based around creating custom tools for automating tasks in GIS using the ModelBlder module of ESRI’s ArcGIS software package.

2.
