“A fascination in the natural world has been a life-long interest with animals being my passion. I am blessed to have a close affinity with all animals. I would like to leave this world a better place than I found it – and there is certainly much to be done. There are many little things we all can do to improve and heal our planet and one is volunteering. Being involved in Citizen Science, such as monitoring dolphins , is one easy and enjoyable way of contributing to science and may even help prevent the extinction of yet another species. Knowledge is power, and as  research is inherently worthwhile, it also enhances you personally.”

“Seeing a dolphin is something that always makes me smile, no matter what is happening in the world. Being able to help protect these amazing animals by simply reporting when and where I see them, is a fabulously easy way to be a citizen scientist, and even a steward for their future. ”

“I first fell in love with dolphins some years ago. I was given a trip to swim with them off Sorrento and was quite reluctant at first due to me being petrified of sharks and not keen on swimming in the ocean either. However, once I saw some dolphins playing and swimming around the boat, I couldn’t get in the water quick enough. Well, once I felt their presence and could clearly see them having fun around us, I became quite emotional. This was an experience of a lifetime and one that I will never ever forget. So, to help them into the future, I decide to be steward for them. It is so very important that we all do our best to protect them and their oceans habitat.”
