Dear All,


After numerous requests at the last two SMM biennial conferences for a
laminated field guide of marine mammals and sea turtles of the
Atlantic coast (US & Canada), I am pleased to announce the release of
this very publication, …and more.


<bold>North Atlantic Coast, marine mammals and sea turtles ($5.95):</bold>


This durable, high quality laminated field guide, covers most of the
Western North Atlantic, from North Carolina, US, to Newfoundland,
Canada.  The guide includes full color illustrations of 25 cetaceans,
4 pinnipeds, and 5 sea turtles. Approximate maximum lengths are shown
in meters. Scientific names are given, as well as their English and
French-Canadian common names (With thanks to Veronique Lesage and
Pierre-Henry Fontaine).


<bold>North Atlantic Coast, marine mammal behaviors ($5.95):</bold>


In this new series of behavior guides, we have depicted specific
behavior and interesting features for humpback whales (front side),
and Atlantic white-sided dolphins (back side).  Behaviors like
lobtailing, breaching, feeding, spyhopping, and many other features
are highlighted on this guide.  (With thanks to Mason Weinrich for
additional information)


Both guides will be available online through Rainforest Publications
(http://www.rainforestpublications.com).  Here you will find many
other guides for different species of flora and fauna and locations. 
An updated field guide for marine mammals of Baja California and
Pacific Coast, Mexico will also be available.


Wholesale prices are available for larger orders.


Any questions or suggestions, please contact me.


Enjoy!
