The Whalewatchers Handbook
From School Library Journal
YA-A book that is manageable in both size and focus. Although the
brief opening chapter is entitled "About Whales," it is really a
general introduction to all three groups of mammals. Each species is
described concisely, including its possible variations, range,
behavior, and look-alikes. The boxed "Field Marks" enable whale
watchers to identify quickly the telltale characteristics of each
species. Black-and-white photographs portray the animals engaging in
numerous activities. Clear, simplified charts illustrate body and head
shapes. Useful appendixes include pertinent organizations, relevant
locations, helpful information, and a discussion to inspire novice
watchers. An effective introduction.

This handy book would add interest to a sailing expedition to the
Channel Islands or just an ordinary trip to the beach.

| In the Company of
Whales Gr. 6-9. Morton begins by introducing herself, explaining her
commitment to and interest in whales, and telling a little about her
life, with her son, on an island off the coast of British Columbia.
The bulk of her book, however, contains a selection of journal
entries. Morton, a whale watcher who "supports her research through
her writings, photography and artwork," records her observations of
groups (pods) of orca that frequent the waters near her home. Her
observations reveal much about the creatures' behavior, and by
introducing the beasts by name ("often these names refer to a mark or
shape on the whale"), she give readers a captivatingly intimate view.
Boxed insets deliver a wealth of facts about the animals as well as
how scientists study them, and the many photographs capture them in
their native habitat. A book that brings us amazingly close to
understanding the behavior of one of nature's most majestic creatures.

Whale
Watch Kaikoura - New Zealand's Whale Watching
Not only can we introduce you
to the magnificent Sperm Whale, but also to migratory Humpback Whales
(June & July), Orca (summer months), New Zealand's own tiny Hectors
dolphin, the high spirited displays of the Dusky dolphins, New Zealand
Fur seals and the Royal Albatross.
Monterey
Bay Whale Watch - Whale Watching Trips
Monterey Bay Whale Watch offers year-round whale watching trips to
observe the spectacular diversity and abundance of whales and dolphins
inhabiting the Bay. Monterey is the best place in the nation to view a
variety of marine mammals and seabirds. The Monterey Submarine Canyon
approaches close to the shore, allowing deep water species of whales,
dolphins, and seabirds to occur near the coast. Shallow water species,
such as the gray whale, are found very close to shore in the narrow
shelf region
WhaleWatch.com
Because we work with whales in the wild, each trip is different. The
special habitat we visit is the summer home to such species as the
Humpback, Finback and Minke whales. The North Atlantic Right Whale is
one of the most endangered species in the world, and may be seen in and
around the waters of Provincetown and Cape Cod Bay. Toothed varieties
such as pilot whales, white-sided dolphins and harbor porpoise are often
seen as well. These are just a few of the species you are apt to see on
a trip with The Dolphin Fleet. Please visit the many other pages on our
site as we try to share what we believe will be one of the most
gratifying experiences you will have in your lifetime.
