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.

    Extractions: Some 350 million years ago, it was not Glooscap, but rather the sun and moon who conspired to create this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. That is, some 100 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth, this pulsing arm of the North Atlantic was formed, its unique shape amplifying the tides to staggering proportions. New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is an eco-attraction on par with such marvels as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Rain Forest of Brazil. It's mighty tides are the greatest on earth. Every day, twice daily, one hundred billion tons of seawater roll in and out of the Bay. At low tide, you can literally walk on the ocean floor. At high tide, just six hours later, your footprints will be covered by the ocean. In some places, the vertical difference between high and low tide is 14 meters- roughly the same height as a four storey building!

57. CNN.com - Nature: Military Sonar May Give Whales The Bends - Oct. 8, 2003
    http://cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/10/08/whale.sonar/index.html
    
    Extractions: Cut surface of the liver shows that cavitary lesions have extensively replaced normal tissue. Story Tools (CNN) Dozens of whales, dolphins and porpoises have washed up dead on shores around the world after exposure to military sonar. Researchers writing in the journal Nature say they may have found a link. Scientists examined the bodies of ten beaked whales that died on two beaches in the Canary Islands in September. The whales began stranding themselves within hours of the use of mid-frequency sonar during Spanish-led international naval exercises. Paul Jepson of the Zoological Society of London and colleagues found that the whales suffered tissue and organ damage caused by gas bubbles, consistent with rapid decompression and similar to the bends, a sometimes-fatal condition for humans.

58. NATURE. Humpback Whales | PBS
    NATURE s HUMPBACK whales follows these migrating marine mammals and presents their unique singing and hunting habits.  
    http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/humpback/
    
    Extractions: Graceful and magnificent, humpback whales inspire awe in young and old alike. These marine mammals travel great distances to take advantage of the best breeding grounds and feeding spots. North Pacific humpbacks, for example, mate and give birth in Hawaii and then travel to Alaska each summer to feed. These gentle giants are famous for their singing abilities belting out seductive ballads to attract mates or to challenge other would-be suitors. But they also have other talents. Their unique hunting skill, called bubblenet feeding, involves a group of humpbacks working together to capture schools of herring. Each whale has a particular role in the process: One whale swims in a circle while blowing bubbles under a school of herring. When the bubbles rise, the school of herring can not escape and form into a tight ball in the center. Other whales vocalize grunting or screaming to scare the herring to the surface. The whales then rise with their mouths wide open to capture large amounts of fish.

    Extractions: Hawaii's marine life hawaiian spinner dolphins humpback whales green sea turtles and monk seal pictures Where the Wild Things are The rural Waianae Coast of Oahu, Hawaii, offers many different kinds of marine life including the best watching of dolphins, whales, turtles, tropical fish, spotted eagle rays, sponges, and coral reef inhabitants to name a few. The Waianae Range is on the west coast of Oahu, Hawaii. It is largely shielded from the rains brought into the islands by the Northeasterly bearing trade winds by its neighbor, Koolau Volcano. This makes Waianae much drier than the Koolaus, particularly on its westward (leeward) slopes. This dryness keeps runoff to a minimum and thus, some of the clearest water in Hawaii is found at the beaches of the Waianae coast. This area is also reputed to have the most extensive coral reefs and marine life in the Hawaiian Islands. It's not surprising then that there is fascinating marine life all along the Leeward Coast. The Northwestern tip, at Ka'ena Point appears to be a magnet for marine mammals. We are currently conducting research to determine the extent of this phenomenon. Click on the links below to learn more about some of the creatures we have become quite friendly with.
