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 25 individuals and is decling at about 50%/year. Visit our
website at www.vivavaquita.org for more details. Below is a sample of some of the rarer items
we have, but there are hundreds and ‘prices’ range from $1-165. For a full list of books available, or if you
have any marine mammal literature you would be interested in donating to us,
please contact Tom Jefferson at sclymene@aol.com.
