MARINE MAMMAI^ 
Marine maininals were scarce throughout the cruise. The majority 
of the few seen were along coastal v?aters. The only spectacular event was 
being able to view numbers of Pacific White-sided Dolphins through a sub¬ 
surface view plate as they performed aquatic acrobatics riding the bow wave 
in front of the ship. The few sightings are listed below.
