I suggest you get in touch with Val Loeb at Moss Landing Marine Labs (just google her name). Good luck! -Cassandra Hi Brooke,

Sounds like you do incredible work and have terrific adventures yourself. I do not actually work on oceanography myself or mammals, but many scientists do. You could try to google and contact Jarrod Santora or Michael Force regarding any whale questions or Val Loeb regarding krill or oceanography. They are wealths of information! Thanks again and best wishes, Cassandra Hi Jez,

I've been working my first season on Steve's Whale One, watching the beautiful Humpback as they play in our warm waters off Mooloolaba. We have been experiencing all the behavours, seen many young calves and even the competitive play of males/female. The more I view, the more I learn about these majestic mammals. Being in warmer waters we don't get to experience the feeding, so I thank you for your efforts to educate us with their feeding behavours and keeping us up to date. We can read a book that was written in the 80's, or a study posted in 2001- But reading direct from a present source is a clearer understanding. I've been at Australia Zoo for 5 years now and with my position so open I am able to work closely with many groups of animals like Koalas, Aldabran Tortiose, Asian small clawed Otter, Snakes and some Birds. I have been trained to handle all and also talk about them in demos around the zoo, as well as in the Crocoseum. My latest adventure is the whale boat which the zoo owns, I'm on during the whale season and then back at zoo eagerly awaiting the next migration. If I am able to get any more info from you on the Humpback, Krill, Orca and current conditions it would be very much appreciated. As I talk and educate on board this would all go toward the conservation message. Love your work and passion, Smooth sailing...... Jez Hey Cassandra, love your article!
