Welcome

Welcome to Marine Mammals of the World

This program provides a comprehensive account of all marine mammals and those cetaceans, seals, and sirenians also found in freshwater. It is based on FAO's "Species Identification Guide" by T. A. Jefferson, S. Leatherwood and M. A. Webber. For the "Marine Mammals of the World" CD-ROM, identification is made possible via several paths. Where possible, pictures of the species and movies have been added, to facilitate identification.

The "Marine Mammals" program is composed of various sections to structure the information and makes searching for particular items easier.
