<excerpt>I am currently a senior level student in high school Ontario,
Canada. In my biology class we are required to do an independent study.
I chose to do an independent study tracking the migratory patterns of
two harbor porpoises using Whalenet, comparing them to those of
"normal" harbor porpoises. To do so requires a lot of research. To my
dismay I have not been very successful at finding very useful
information on the internet or at our local library.

If you could direct me to any web sites or other resources 

which you feel would be helpful I would be very appreciative.

Dear Kayla:


Your subject is a difficult one as the study of the migratory patterns
of harbour porpoises is relatively recent. There is a researcher by the
name of Dr. Reed in the UK who is a well-known researcher of these
critters. There is also a popular book out on them by Reed. I am
working in Barrow, Alaska, right now and am not near my references,
otherwise I could give you the book title and Dr. Reed's email
address.


I hope this helps.
