Jules -
Do you think you can clarify your question a little? I could pass on some
information about endangered whales and the fight for their conservation,
but I am not sure what you are asking when you ask for the 'statistics' on
the whales. Also, what kind of quotes from scientists are you interested
in?
Sorry I can't answer your questions, but if you email back, I'm sure I can
help. You might want to try searching the whalenet archives for questions
that have already been answered along the lines of your interest.
Here's something to start you out: from the book "The Sierra Club Handbook
of Whales and Dolphins" by Leatherwood and Reeves: "A century or two ago
parts of the marine world were swarming with whales and their smaller
relatives, but the thoughtless, short-sighted greed of humans has made the
surface of the sea a much duller place today."
Write back -
Aloha -
