Here are some hot issues about marine
mammals. We take points from both sides, dispute erroneous information
and present complete facts. That way, you can decide for yourself what
you believe is right; for personal, ethical, economical, cultural or
whatever reasons.
We apologize for not getting these posted sooner.
Please continue to be patient as we develop these articles. 10/28/06

population of seals detrimental to fish stocks? Should the
cute, defenseless creatures be killed for population control
and food?
- Manatee Management -
Should the Florida manatee be removed from the endangered

safety still be enforced? Should government spend
money to protect these creatures?
- Commercial Whaling - Is whaling still an
