Part of the Commonwealth series.

>From the back cover: "Seaworld. A guilt-ridden Earth had turned
Cachalot
over the few surviving cetaceans as a perpetual refuge - a planet whose
surface was one great ocean, where the remnants of the whales,
porpoises,
and dolphins could pursue thier lives and perhaps even the development

The book is a great read BTW.
