Saludos Philip, great article on Sri Lanka and the blue whales!
ReplyDeleteYou can also see blue whales very near shore in Chiloé Island (southern Chile) where our organization conducts the Alfaguara (blue whale) project (http://www.speciesconservation.org/projects/Blue-Whale/400 and http://www.ruffordsmallgrants.org/rsg/projects/barbara_galletti_and_vernazzani_munoz)
If you ever come to Chile, let us know, we will be more than happy to share our work with you.

Hi Philip,
ReplyDeleteI'm a writer in the US, and I've just completed and sold my book about Ambergris. I became aware of your book a few months after I began writing and researching, but I didn't read it because I didn't want my writing to my flavored by another writer and a popular book.
I wondered if you might be willing to take a look at my book, when it's edited and completed in July, and maybe even provide a blurb for it?
All very best
