on the Dolphin links to a BMLSS Cetacean
web page on the Internet for links to dolphin watching sites in the
NE Atlantic Ocean and around the British Isles as well links for lots of
whale and dolphin reports.
The Whale watching information was included in previous issues of Torpedo, but the bulletin has now been streamlined to avoid repetition.

Scientific Advice on Matters Related to the Management of Seal Populations: 2000Under the Conservation of Seals Act 1970, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has a duty to provide scientific advice to government on matters related to the management of seal populations.
NERC has appointed a Special Committee on Seals (SCOS) to formulate this advice so that it may discharge this statutory duty.
This document is available as a *.pdf electronic file, readable using Acrobat Reader, from Peter Haddow of the Seal Conservation Society. BMLSS members can request a copy from Glaucus House.

This clear photograph of the Snakelocks Anemone shows a bright red tinge on the tentacles. Does anybody know the reason for the red or the common purple tips found in the green specimens? Is it connected with the symbiotic algae call zooxanthellae? |

This is a simple project or request to members and readers of this Bulletin. It is to take pictures of the coast when you are next down on the shore.
The
name of the particular coast should be included and the grid reference,
if known. Print photographs can be included in Exhibitions
and on the BMLSS Web Sites and electronic publications. Electronic images
in *.JPG format can also be considered for the web site. They should not
exceed 100K in size.
|
The British Marine Life Study Society Web Site has been included as an Encyclopaedia Britannica Recommended Site and included on the BBC On-line Internet Guide.
There
are more entries on the GATEWAY pages of the BMLSS
Web Site and on the Torpedo File on the
web site (click on this text).

Members
The
new Premier Membership for the year 2000 also entitles the member to the
Official BMLSS CD-ROM, which will contain the BMLSS web pages and
more information about marine life, together with a selection of other
exclusive marine life information, electronic back copies of BMLSS publications,
and the full version of TORPEDO
Electronic News Bulletin sent to them every month by Email, as well as
the other BMLSS Electronic Information Services. The CD-ROM
will also contain useful shareware and freeware programs, and should be
at least as good value as a computer magazine CD-ROM for the second aspect
alone.
