Our cetacean cousins: the whales, dolphins, porpoises, and manatees can't move to another
home. The oceans are their homes.
Once the world was strong with nature's
wildlife and all the food necessary to support them... and then came humans...
It's one of the top 2 greats of my experiences; Seeing whales and dolphins at their family
gatherings. In fact, every time I've seen them, it's been "family time". They know the importance
of quality time, and I believe we could learn many valuable lessons from our aquatic cousins.

Too many times, the news reports about slaughters and poisons due to human's pollutants. It seems as though humans are indeed the planetary killers. We have organizations and agencies now underway to save this and help that. Unfortunately, there are still many "killers" doing the polluting and killing. |

Whales travel thousands of miles by instinct to get to their southern breeding and calving areas for winter, then back north to their feeding areas for the summer. It's sad that many of them never return; their journey and life, joining the count of many wildlife species that ended too soon.
1. Educate yourself about marine wildlife and tell others.
2. Help Out where you can,
and/or check out SeaWeb for the latest news and updates.
3. Call, write, e-mail your support to protect wildlife.
Voice your support for our aquatic cousins. Request a stop to all commercial whaling, and ask for the creation of a
permanent, enforced, all ocean sanctuary for all cetaceans.
4. Contact the President and First Lady, (and your
congress persons)
asking for their support of protecting sea life:
