Hello, My name is Alësha Naranjit from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. I am trying to collect information on studies done and papers written on cetaceans around the islands of Trinidad and Tobago and I would be grateful for any help you can offer in locating any such information. Below is a list of the papers I have collected; if you know of any other papers or projects do let me know and if you can send me a copy or direct me to a one, that would be even better. Thanks.
