Dear MARMAM subscribers,

The American Cetacean Society is proud to announce the full-color 
special Vaquita & Phocoenid issue of our ACS Whalewatcher journal 
(2010, Volume 39, No. 1).
This issue is completely dedicated to the family Phocoenidae and the 
critically endangered vaquita in particular.
We are extremely grateful for Dr. Thomas A. Jefferson, who approached 
us with the concept and served as our guest editor for this unique 
issue.
We also like to thank all authors and photographers who have 
contributed to this publication.
