Hi, my name is Thuy Ngo. I'm currently attending Oslo Middle School of Vero
Beach Florida in the 8th grade. For our Gifted Science class, we are
studying Endangered Species. We are all picking our own animals and making
our own presentation for the younger science classes at our school on Earth
Day. My endangered species if the Blue Whale. If there is anything you could
please send me as in brochures, names of organizations, or anything to do
with the helping the blue whale, please send them to:
Thuy Ngo
130 s 19th Circle SW
Vero Beach, Fl 32962
Thank you very much,
Sincerely, Thuy
Dear Thuy,
I am based in Scotland so it would take some time for brochures to get to
you; it would be much faster and simpler to go on to websites if you have
internet access.
I would suggest that first you go to species information page of the
WhaleNet website and read more on blue whales. The species page is
http://whale.wheelock.edu/whalenet-stuff/classifications.html.
Some of the entries you could try (but there are lots of others) include:
American Cetacean Society¥ Species Links
CETACEA - Brief overview of a wide variety of species with habitat range
maps.
Cetacea¥, Illinois State Academy of Sciences (ISAS) - Listing of species.
Discovering Whales¥, nicely done page. Still Free - listing by species
Marine Mammals¥, Classifications and descriptions by species
Just go down this list on the web page and keep looking for blue whale
items...there's lots of very useful, relevant things.
You can get good information on blue whales also from the website of
www.wdcs.org, as I know that this group (The Whale & Dolphin Conservation
Society) sponsors research into blue whales.
Good luck!
Erich Hoyt
