A word of caution - due to the nature of these topics a lot of the material will be biased to one side, or the other. As they are so topical, the information in books may not be as up-to-date as journal articles.

Practical investigation - using the whelk as an example
This achievement standard is quite detailed. Your best bet is to read through the standard to get an idea of what you're supposed to do.
For the whelk in particular, try these websites:
ARC - a document which discusses the environment in which whelks live. It is a PDF file, and to find where 'whelks' are mentioned in the document - click on the binocular icon and type whelk into the search box.
Auckland Museum - this is a PDF file, and to find where 'whelks' are mentioned in the document - click on the binocular icon and type whelk into the search box.
If you're studying another organism and having difficulty finding information on it - email the teens team for some help.
