0 01i00Officials at the government service where Mr. Spardlin works have begun an educational campain that sends educational materials to marinas, schools and fairs in costal areas 01font00where 00people and dolphins interact.02br

02font02i01font00About the 'where' in red, which does it refer to; the fairs olny, or the entire series of places in front of it (i.e. marinas, schools and fairs)?02br
02br
00Plus, about 'in costal areas', which does it refer to; the fairs only, or the entire series of places in front of it (i.e. marinas, schools and fairs)?02br
02br
00In my opinion, in costal areas refers to the fairs only and the 'where' refers to the fairs in costal areas, but my book says both refer to the entire series of places in front...02br
