Dear Colleague,

I am a NRC postdoctoral researcher at the National Marime Fisheries.  As a
part of my NRC postodoctoral project, I am planning to conduct a survey on
public attitude on approval/disapproval of whaling.  As the number of
whales increases it has become feasible to reopen commercial whaling,
provided that strong  regulations are enforced.  (e.g., IWC estimates
population of minke whales in Antarctica is 760000.)  Despite the sceintifc
feasibility of whaling, public sentiment is strongly against whaling.
Thus, I am interested in 'what factors are influecial in forming people's
opinion pro/against whaling?'   I am creating a questionnair survey form
that will be ready by the end of this month.  I am intended to take the
survey from college students (general introduction class to adanced class),
and looking for professsors who can graciously take surveys from their
students.   If you can help me to conduct my project.  Please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

**  This study is entirely planned and conducted by myself, and my view on
whaling issues does not represent the view of the National Marine
Fisheries..
