Whale Call Cafe has been formed to be a springboard into Care2's extensive Marine orientated Environment groups.
Here, you will meet some of the fearless group leaders and get an insight into what their groups are about, you will be able to access current Marine News as it happens thru the dedicated post threads, and get connected to expertise in many Marine issues.
Hosts and members are encouraged to link their blogs and shares to the home page, but please keep the group free of ---
Topics relating to sex, religion [unless specific to conservation] and politics not related to oceanic conservation.
Usurpers will be removed from group –
Flamers will also not be tolerated – and either removed or given a probationary period in ‘the corner’
Now go learn and have fun --start your own threads, sit back, kick back--
i have deliberately set up news threads and comment threads -- the purpose of this, is so hosts of other groups can access,cut and paste news without having to sort out the replies -- if you have news, please post it in the appropriate thread -- if it doesnt fit, ask a host where it should go --this will avoid you getting 'your post has been deleted' emails :}

Thank you Boris! I have an immediate need for anyone on the east coast of USA who might be willing to give some time to the plight of the critically endangered right whale. There are less than 350 of these magnificent creatures left ON THE PLANET. At the present rate of decline, they will be extinct within one hundred and ninety one years. You can learn more about our organization, Cetacean Society International, at www.csiwhalesalive.org
Thank you for the opportunity to blog with kindred spirits. Patty

congrats care2 for the front page news feature -- up to date daily environment, science & technology, and world news items can now be found on the whale call cafe homepage.
this is an awesome way to get your news out -- i posted a story i found on depleted uranium, and in 22 hrs, it had made the front page -- if you have news flashes [on line] that you submit to the front page news, let us know by also posting in the daily news thread so we can go vote for your article to get front page status
Thanks to Care2's and Whale Call members P.R. skills, Whale Call has grown from an inkling of an idea a year ago, to an active Conservation group.
