As an International Marine Consultant I find myself in parts of the world many never venture. The upside is opportunity to explore the world. The downside is never knowing exactly what I'm getting myself into. I am fortunate to have built an international network encompassing China, Taiwan, Hainan, Japan, Spain, South America, South Africa, Mauritius, The Bahamas, Jamaica, and The United States of America. We all know about the current interest in captive dolphins, as reflected in television programs, news media and online.

Living abroad for extended periods teaches invaluable lessons in life; no book or classroom can duplicate this. Dolphin Chronicles: "Keeping Dolphins Alive & Well" is as close as one can get without being there.
