CREDITS Sincere gratitude goes to Will Hon, the inspiring educator and artist, who conceived the northern right whale poster, and continues to foster an inquisitive wonder for the world around us. Many thanks are extended to "Stormy" Mayo and Marilyn Marks (Center for Coastal Studies), Al Sanders (The Charleston Museum), Mike Harris and Barb Zoodsma (Georgia DNR, Coastal Resources Division), Scott Kraus, Philip Hamilton, and Chris Slay (New England Aquarium), Bob Ziobro (NOAA, NMFS), and Hans Neuhauser (Right Whale News) for their document review and technical expertise. Great appreciation goes to Edwin Schiele who contributed both written material and invaluable review comments. Cheryle and Durwin-from Endangered book Scrimshaw was photographed at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, Savannah, Georgia. Thanks to Jeff Fulton for his assistance. Whale photographs provided by Center for Coastal Studies, Provincetown, MA. Students were photographed at St. Andrew's School by Brad Boyd of Moving Picture Studios, Savannah, Georgia. Arrangements for student photographs were coordinated by Elizabeth Allen at St. Andrew's School. Photograph of the baleen was taken by John "Crawfish" Crawford. Scrimshaw, whale memorabilia, baleen, whale skeleton and the activity "Jaws" were photographed by the author (SVM). Activities were field tested in a variety of middle school classrooms across Georgia. Final revisions of the activities resulted from working with the bright and enthusiastic students at St. Andrew's School in Savannah. In addition to his on-going technical assistance, Hans Neuhauser generated inspiration for many of the activities and conceived the idea for the activity "No Jonah." Special thanks to Dave Mattingly, founder of The Ocean Society, whose enthusiasm and commitment to whale education and research is unending.
