My primary interest is in defending and protecting marine life in our oceans. It is my deepest passion and it is a fight that I have been involved in all of my life, a fight that I shall never retire from and will continue until the day I die. I am Captain and Educator, Author and Lecturer, Fund-raiser and Film-maker, Executive Director and Marine Conservationist. I am Master of the 1000 ton vessel Steve Irwin. My ship Bob Barker is crucial in blocking the slipway of the Nisshin Maru during our whale defense campaigns in the Southern Ocean. I am closely connected to the Scuba-Diving, Surfing and Vegetarian communities.
