Here is Shauna's response to Dick's question about entering data from 
land-based sightings into the marine mammal sightings database, which 
can be accessed at:
http://www.cisanctuary.org/mammals/

    Yes, the sightings can be entered into a form on one of the boats or
    directly into the database by Dick. He would have to go to the
    nautical chart to plot the general area in Lat and Long, this can be
    done easily by clicking on the "view map" link just below the
    location entry fields. Just go the location and click and it will
    automatically enter the Lat and Long into the entry fields on the form.
