I have studied grey whales there and even had the opportunity to pet one of the "friendlies" in the lagoon. Probably one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. Petting a 35 foot whale with no fear on either side--just curiosity. I know I wrote tons of letter in protest so maybe letter writing campaigns do work!!!!!!! Thanks again so much for the update. I didn't read the article.
