Human Activities Effect Marine Animals- INTERVIEW?!??

[StephanieP]

My name is Stephanie and I am currently working on a research paper. My topic is, human activities effect the lives of marine animals, and my teacher is requiring an interview with a reliable source regarding the topic. I have been emailing anyone I can and I have probably sent over 20 emails to college professors and I have barely gotten any responses. I would really appreciate an interview. I need to have the interview done by March 29, 2010. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact me before then. The interview can be through email all you have to do is answer the following questions.

1. What is your official job title? What is your average work day like?
2. How do you feel human activities effect the lives of marine animals?
3. Explain how these effects can be prevented.
4. If humans change how do you think they will adapt to the changes?
5. Describe the damage you have seen/experienced when observing or working with marine animals.
6. How do marine animals effect the lives of humans?
7. Do you think people understand the effect of the involvement marine animals have in our lives? Why?
8. What have you done to help protect marine animals from the effects of human activities?
9. What do you predict will happen to marine animals in the next 10 years?
10. Would you like a copy of my research paper after it is finished?

If you are able to respond with answers please include your name so I may include it in my paper. Thank You for all of your help.

Hi there,
I'm an undergraduate student, but do have a lot of good background in the subject. If you don't find anyone with a real degree to answer the questions, I will help you out.

p.s. I guess technically, I have taught at the college level - I'm a TA for biological oceanography... but I'm no professor. (yet :P)
