NEW BEAKED WHALE INFORMATION WEBSITE LAUNCHED The BEAKED WHALE RESOURCE is a new web-based initiative providing a forum for those with an interest in the elusive Ziphiid species.
The
aims of the BEAKED WHALE RESOURCE are to: ·
Be a global information resource on beaked whales and
related issues. ·
Promote communication and collaboration between beaked
whale interest groups. ·
Provide a means for collating and sharing sightings
records of beaked whales globally. The
site is intended to appeal to all potential user groups, from academics to
whale-watchers.
The BEAKED WHALE RESOURCE is now online. Currently, the site contains information on each species, recent sightings, threats and an up-to-date reference list but there are many more features to come! The resource is rapidly developing; for example, the distribution map pages will expand as more individuals and organisations become involved with data exchange. By spring 2006, an interactive
sighting database will go online and the comprehensive literature archive will
be fully searchable. Please
visit the Beaked Whale Resource homepage www.beakedwhaleresource.com for
more
information.
