I am a certified Marine Naturalist and photographer working and living on Maui for nearly 20 years. As a published author of children's books as well (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dus-stripbooks-tree&field-keywords=naia+to+the+rescue&x=0&y=0) I feel very privileged to live the life and share my knowledge by writing and taking pictures.
