     Extractions: A baby boom among right whales is being reported as fishermen get ready to begin using new safety devices to protect the highly endangered species. According to the National Marine Fisheries Service, 14 right whale calves have been sighted off Florida and Georgia during the last two months. While the number seems small, it's a huge leap for right whales, whose population has dwindled to about 300 animals in the northern Atlantic. "It's fantastic stuff," said Mason Weinrich, of the Gloucester-based Whale Center of New England . "But we must see sustained seasons, we need to see years of calving like this." According to Weinrich, the births are not the only good news about right whales. Scientists have also reported the population as a whole seems to be in better health. Weinrich speculated that the whales' improved appearance could be due to an increase in copepods, the whales' crustacean of choice and main food source. But while the news is good, scientists tempered their enthusiasm with customary caution.

She was a dedicated Marine Biologist and lover of all animals, especially those of the oceans. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in her name to the The whales are not as pleantiful here as they were in San Ignacio last year. On a typical day we will see maybe 6 whales, or pairs, up close. We finally had a long encounter with a "friendly" gray in mid- February. I do not know if it is "El Nino" related. There is a mouth (boca) to the lagoon nearby. From time to time, I have seen the adult grays surfing in the breakers here. There is much more wildlife here than in San Ignacio, though. There are birds galore. The mangroves are teeming with life. Magdalena Bay is due west of Ciudad Constitution.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Volunteers gave up their whale rescue efforts Tuesday after the whales stranded themselves a third time. WELLFLEET, Massachusetts (CNN) About 28 pilot whales were being euthanized Tuesday evening after stranding themselves for the third time in two days, and marine experts decided the animals were too exhausted to swim back to open sea. The whales were all that remained of 55 who became stranded on a beach Monday at the southern end of Cape Cod Bay. Volunteers from the Cape Cod Stranding Network and other facilities managed to save 46 of them, but 44 of them were found stranded on a mud flat in the bay Tuesday. Workers managed to get about 28 of them swimming again after the tide came in, but despite efforts of people in small boats to herd them to the north and open sea, the whales made their way to a marshy area and became stranded again. They were to be euthanized by injection.

124. - Overselling Of Whale Evolution -
     Conventional wisdom among evolutionists is that whales descended from land mammals, but the fossil evidence is not persuasive, let alone conclusive.  
     http://www.trueorigin.org/whales.asp
     
     Extractions: Creation Matters , a newsletter published by the Creation Research Society onventional wisdom among evolutionists, at least at the popular level, is that whales descended from Mesonychidae, an early and diverse family of land mammals that were well adapted for running. It is hypothesized that some mesonychid species began feeding on creatures inhabiting shallow waters and that over many generations the selective pressures created by this change of diet transformed one or more of the species into an amphibious archaeocete. The selective pressures of amphibious living in turn generated a variety of archaeocetes and eventually transformed one or more of the species into a fully marine archaeocete. Marine existence then shaped further adaptations to produce the 75 to 77 living species of whales, porpoises, and dolphins. The purpose of this article is to suggest that the fossil evidence for the mesonychid-to-whale transition is not persuasive, let alone conclusive. Dissacus navajovius (which is Dissacus carnifex of Cope) and some archaeocete specimens. His rather cautious statement of the claim is worth recalling:

     Students learn that whales live in all the oceans of the world and migrate in search of food and appropriate breeding grounds throughout the year.

     Extractions: Review with your students what they have learned about animal migration. Most of them will know that many birds migrate in the spring and the fall. Discuss the reasons for bird migration. Ask students if they know of other animals, besides birds, that migrate. Make sure they know that whales migrate, as do birds, to find food and satisfactory breeding grounds.

     Extractions: Laird Campbell People searching for a discussion of Amnesty International's views on Tunisia learned about human rights in that North African country but from supporters of the Tunisian authorities, not from the human rights group. The government supporters brought surfers to a site with a soothing Web address: www.amnesty-tunisia.org And bibliophiles who trust the grande dame of on-line retailers, Amazon.com, for suggestions under the headings of "Destined for Greatness" and "What We're Reading" were dismayed to learn that some publishers had paid for special treatment for their books meaning a more accurate heading would have been "What We're Paid to Say We're Reading." (After the disclosure, Amazon added a note on its home page to make a subtle acknowledgement of the practice.) On the World Wide Web, straight facts can be hard to find. After plowing through dense and recalcitrant search engines that offer more sites than you can point a mouse at, after enduring delays, lost links and dead ends and arriving at a site that looks just right, Web surfers must deal with uncertainty: Is the information true, unbiased and free of hidden sales pitches?

     NRDC works to protect threatened whales and marine animals whose habitats are threatened by corporate development and undersea noise.

     Extractions: Perhaps nothing in nature is more impressive than a whale breaching the ocean's surface. But these creatures are threatened as never before by humankind's encroachment into the seas and by shore-based industry. NRDC played a leading role in the international victory that saved the gray whale breeding grounds in Mexico's Laguna San Ignacio, which was threatened by industrial development, and we remain vigilant against similar risks posed to other whale populations. We are also tackling undersea noise pollution and play a leading role in opposing an experimental Navy weapon system that would bombard hundreds of nautical miles of the ocean with harmful low-frequency noise.
