LAGOON TIME, a Guide to the Gray Whales and Natural History of San Ignacio Lagoon – Written By Steven Swartz, published by the Ocean Foundation, Lagoon Time is the first complete field guide to the gray whales and natural history of the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It includes the history of the lagoon, gray whale behavior, and descriptions of the diverse botanical and avian wildlife of the area. Lagoon Time is a popular, first-hand account of the experiences and discoveries made by Mary Lou Jones, Steven Swartz and their colleagues during their initial study of gray whales wintering in Laguna San Ignacio between 1977 and 1982. Their initial studies were the first systematic research on gray whales that utilize the lagoon as a winter aggregation and breeding area, and contributed to the establishment by the Mexican government of a unique marine reserve for gray whales and other marine wildlife.
