Encompassing my oceanic marine biology research (1971-2009) and outreach science program (1986-2008), this extensive website was originally hosted beginning in 2006 by Yahoo Groups. The library relocated to its new home in 2013, which now provides the leading-edge technology to carry on with its worldwide legacy. Many of the photos & research materials found within this website, were key educational tools for my outreach science program “OCEAN TREASURES”.

The program spanned 19-years of displaying a uniquely  designed assembly/classroom/group presentation involving a combination of an extensive multimedia array & interactive “hands-on” items which included various specially-prepared oceanic marine animals.  Programs were conducted within pre-K to collegiate science curriculum guidelines throughout American, Canadian & Australian educational communities.

The memorials pay homage to Dr. Michael A. Bigg (“the Father of Killer Whale Research“), Jacques-Yves Cousteau (“the Captain“) and Stephen R. Irwin (“the Crocodile Hunter”), a trio of gentlemen of whom I had the distinct honor of personally meeting during my career. Each of these legends in their own extraordinary way, truly enhanced the field of marine biological sciences and left their unique footprints upon my own personal studies.
