Special Thank You:
Tim Choate – This is what happens when the “bite” is
off, ideas take hold… and for introducing me to Guy.
Guy Harvey- your dedication, energy and passion for marine life is remarkable. I will never forget my first dive with Billfish.
Paxson Offield - BIG Thank you.
This program is dedicated to the following:
George Batchelor - for believing in this project and your sincere appreciation
of all creatures with fins, feathers and fur.
To all who care about making a positive difference in helping to conserve our oceans – get informed and involved, before it is too late.
To every person on the front lines of fisheries, working for positive change.
The Billfish, who inspired me, may you never be just a memory.
