This Newsletter will be published 4 times per year, in
winter (this first issue) in spring, in the end of summer (as in the summer
we are all at sea to study cetaceans) and in autumn.
We made it in order to answer the expectations of all, adults
and youngsters, beginners or specialists.
Each part will be presented in three different font sizes:
• An introduction in big size font for the
young public
• A more complete text in middle size font for the general public
• And some more complex details for the specialists
Each Newsletter will have 4 parts:
• Welcome onboard
will be an introduction with some general news followed by a reserved space
for your questions … and our answers. Don't forget that you can always
send us an email at 
and think about noting your Friends of CIRCE card number in the subject of
your email, this is the magic key to get a privileged answer
• In a species
we will describe a whale or a dolphin, its measurements, how to recognise
it, where it lives, what it is eating, how is its reproduction, a few details
(if they are known) on its behaviour, its habits and how it can be distinguished
from other cetaceans species
• With a program
we will tell you about the actions of CIRCE, the why and how of
what we are learning on cetaceans and the ocean
• In behind the researches
we will relate the stories of our life at sea or the ones happening in the
laboratories, the hidden sides of our work, to surprise you or to amuse you.
This first Newsletter is dedicated to the fin whale and the main aims of our
research program. This project will be detailed in the next Newsletters.
