One of the best places we have found to get information about how to pursue
a career in marine sciences is the website provided by MarMam. The website
is http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~smm/strat.htm. You can also join their
discussion group, which will allow you to start making contacts in this
field. Also look at the career section on WhaleNet at
http://whale.wheelock.edu/whalenetstuff/ed_resources.html
Good luck with your search. Kim
