Dear Meghan
There is a wonderful link on the educational resources page of the WhaleNet
website which will give you lots of helpful information on pursuing a career
in marine mammal science, and answer your questions. Go to
http://whale.wheelock.edu/whalenet-stuff/ed_resources.html and scroll down
to "Careers". There are 10 links there. You probably will only need one of
them, but if you still have more questions, go to others. I would start by
clicking on "Careers in Marine Mammal Science - Society for Marine
Mammalogy" - I know that's a good one and very straightforward.
Good luck!
Erich Hoyt
