You'll try to divert a naval fleet heading for a collision with a pod of whales and witness titanic struggles between whales and giant squid. And by the way, you'll also have to accurately identify any whales you see! When you return home, you'll present your data and observations to the world community. Hopefully, whales and their ocean habitat will be protected! Game available for $5 By pdboyerin Public bookmarkswith dnafishinggamehostilemeatobserveoceanswhalewhaling
Losing Species: Is This The Last Century For Wild Seafood? Its findings are startling. A global study lead by Dalhousie's Boris Worm shows current trends projecting the collapse of all currently fished seafoods before 2050.
