Philip - I read this article and was completely mesmerised. I'm an illustration student and need to organise a 3 month documentary illustration project. I really feel very strongly (since reading your article) that I want to focus upon cetaceans. If you could give me any information on organisations or groups I could contact to get me closer to whales I would be immensely grateful. Charlotte Holzmeyer (angplags@gmail.com)
