GREMM
Marine mammals have always fascinated me! I learned a lot about them when I visited the CIMM marine mammal interpretation centre, and was particularly impressed by the 13-m-long skeleton of a sperm whale! I had an opportunity to talk with researchers from the Group for Research on Marine Mammals (GREMM). They told me about the website Baleinesendirect.org, Whalesonline, where you can read about current events involving whales in the St. Lawrence and elsewhere.
