Posted on behalf of Uko Gorter <uko@ukogorter.com>, who says: I am writing on behalf of the LWL-Museum für Naturkunde, Muenster, Germany. The Museum is hard at work on their upcoming special exhibit, "Wale-Riesen der Meere" (Whales - Giants of the Sea). The around 1700 sq. meter exhibit will be open to the public from September 21, 2012 to November 3, 2013. http://www.lwl.org/LWL/Kultur/WMfN/Museum_Naturkunde/Ausstellungen/ To enhance the exhibit experience, the LWL-Museum has made the following requests for materials: Sound clips of: 1) (navy) sonar 2) vessel traffic noise 3) other anthropogenic noise 4) heartbeat of blue whale Video clips of: 5) whale (cetacean) birth 6) suckling whale calves 7) sleeping (resting) whales 8) entanglement in fishing gear Photos of: 9) threats to whales (e.g. sonar, entanglement, pollution, whaling etc.). While hoped that any of these materials are available as in-kind donations, the LWL-Museum of Natural History is willing to negotiate some kind of renumeration. It is important that anyone offering these materials is the author and/or holds the original copyright.
