The Whale-Watching-Web: Cetacean Nonfiction Bibliography

  • "More than a hundred years later, author Dick Russell sets out to track the migration of the gray whale and to retrace Scammon's own path. This epic journey stretches from Mexico to California, Oregon, Washington, Vancouver Island, Alaska, and into Siberia and even remote Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East. In these exotic locales see the current controversies surrounding the gray whale: an effort by Mitsubishi and the Mexican government to build a massive new salt factory within its pristine nursery area; the Makah tribe's renewed hunting of gray whales after a hiatus of seventy years; Japan's recruitment of the Makah and other indigenous peoples in their quest to resurrect commercial whaling.

     

    Eye of the Whale is a . . . work of scientific reporting and travel writing that greatly advances our understanding not only of the gray whale but of the natural world. While it may be impossible to know for certain the fate of this majestic creature, with Russell's sage guidance we may glimpse it -- in the eye of the whale."

THE YEAR OF THE WHALE, by Victor B. Scheffer. ...

Now Dr. Scheffer, a scientist working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, writes of the whale's life ...

www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,901499-3,00.html

"As the whale is great, so to cherish it can be proof of our greatness.

Meanwhile, and for a little longer, the great whale glides through the sea, feeling its vibrations and reading its meaning by senses it has gained through eons of time. Had the whale been created only to deepen our sense of wonder, that were enough, for it is imagination that makes us human."

Dr. Victor B. Scheffer

The California gray whale was the first whale to be legally protected and the first to recover sufficiently to be removed from the US Endangered Species List. An environmental journalist explores the complex relationship between whales and humans through tracing gray whale migration, and the conversion of 19th century whaler Charles Melville Scammon to naturalist. Russell includes illustrations and useful Web sites. Originally published in 2001 by Simon & Schuster, New York.

p.139: "There was silence for a moment. When Bobby (Kennedy) spoke again, it was with the passion and intensity I'd witnessed thirty years earlier, as a student at the University of Kansas watching his father initiate his 1968 presidential campaign.  His father was speaking about ending the Vietnam War. Bobby Jr. was speaking about stopping the world's largest corporation at a Mexican lagoon."

Education Futures celebrates its first five years of exploring new futures in human capital development

with a timeline of the history of education from 1657-2045. This timeline provides not only a glimpse into modern education, but plots out a plausible future history for human capital development. The future history presented is intended to be edgy, but also as a conversation starter on futures for education and future thinking in human capital development.

THE MARINE MAMMALS OF THE NORTH-WESTERN COAST OF NORTH AMERICA

 

Cultural Writing. History.

This volume- reprinted with a new forward by whale expert Dick Russell- has long been a highly regarded classic of natural history writing. At the time of the book's original publication, the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE reported "no more devoted investigator of the whale and its habits ever existed than Captain Scammon."

 

As the captain of a whaling ship, Scammon closely observed and made detailed measurements of the animals he was tracking. Despite the lack of sophisticated tools, Scammon's was able to gather vital information, much of which has been confirmed by contemporary science. Scammons's Lagoon in Baja California is named after the captain in honor of his discovery of the favorite calving spot for gray whales.

      In the Path of Giants, their project for the gray whales, has been the subject of many articles,

      books and television pieces. The most definitive treatment can be found in "Eye of the Whale," an epic volume by author Dick Russell and published by Simon & Schuster. Go to www.dickrussell.org and check out Chapter 10: "Orcas and Grays Along the Shores of Monterey" for a sampling of this interesting and sometimes heart-wrenching tale. You'll find this picture in it of Heidi paddling with gray whales, which was the start of "In the Path of Giants."

1967 WestPac Cruise (CIM-PAO) comments ...

On a clam Sunday afternoon in transit to Yankee Station from Subic Bay PI, our starboard lookout reported a dark surface contact ten degrees off the bow. We'd had NO prior surface radar contacts!

 

By the time the OOD (me) reacted to this report, there were two contacts which then merged in to one as we both watched. The bridge gyro-compass repeater indicated no bearing drift which meant CIM was on a collision course with this UFO (Unidentified Floating Object) . . .  We were already in extremis as CIM's bow cut into the UFO's last known position. So, we looked for debris and advised the fantail man overboard watch to do the same.

 

While our bridge watch team attempted to assess these unexpected developments, our duty BMOW (Bosuns Mate on Watch) shouted WHALE HO off the starborad beam!  We then all observed a huge grey whale breach about 40 feet vertically into the air . . . while giving CIM the "angry eye" for disturbing its Sunday siesta.  Our summary: No harm / No foul / No collsion report!

3pAB5. A journalist’s perspective on noise and marine mammals.
Dick Russell ~8118 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069,
dickrusl@aol.com!
In the course of several years researching and writing Eye of the Whale ~Simon & Schuster, 2001, 688 pages!, the author interviewed a number of marine scientists about this subject and described at some length scientific findings over the past several decades. These pertained to California gray whales, their vocalizations, and the impact of various acoustical ‘‘playbacks’’ upon this species at different locations.

In particular, the author described studies of Navy LFA sonar in California and of seismic oil exploration off Russia’s Sakhalin Island. Scientific opinion appeared divided over whether LFA sonar, especially, would pose a substantial threat to marine mammals. However, as regarding both LFA sonar and seismic testing, gray whales were observed to avoid certain regions they would otherwise normally inhabit. Subsequent interviews have confirmed the possibility of a severe threat to marine mammal habitat. During this process, much has also been learned about the ways and means to improve communication between journalists and scientists.

>>The Coast Guard's other icebreaker, the Healy (WAGB-20), is a lighter ship designed to break 4.5 feet of ice continuously at three knots. While primarily used for scientific missions, she is also capable of logistics, search and rescue, ship escort, environmental protection, and law enforcement missions.

Since 2003, the Healy has made three deployments to survey the uncharted seafloor around the Chukchi Cap. Working in conjunction with NOAA's Office of the Coast Survey and the University of New Hampshire's Joint Hydrographic Center, the breaker's multi-beam sonar and sub-bottom profiler were used to better define the extent of the U.S. continental shelf.<<
