Dear MARMAM friends, I'm pleased to share news of my upcoming book, Vaquita: Science, Politics, and Crime in the Sea of Cortez, due out next month from Island Press. This "heartfelt and alarming tale" (Publishers Weekly) attempts to untangle the intricate controversies behind the precipitous decline of the world's smallest cetacean. Early copies are available through the publisher's website with a 20% discount (CODE: 4VAQUITA) https://islandpress.org/books/vaquita. If anyone is teaching biology, ecology, conservation, political science, environmental law or other related coursework and would like to use Vaquita in the classroom, they can request an exam copy <https://islandpress.org/request-exam-copy> . All best, Brooke Bessesen Research Fellow Osa Conservation
