DR. ROGER PAYNE - VOICE FROM THE SEA
"Though we distinguish between the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, etc., there is really but one ocean. It is the home of all the fish, crabs, seaweed and whales that exist (except, of course, the river and freshwater species).
No matter where you live along any seashore,
a whale may pass along your coast, or come into any harbor or
bay deep enough to float it. And sometimes they do. When that
happens, it is always a thrill. It seems to send a message that speaks
directly to people one that sets up waves that somehow beat
down any barrier of disinterest." -
Roger Payne
Dr. Roger Payne has been studying whales and working for their conservation for over 30 years. In his online audio pieces, A Voice from the Sea, Payne discusses the fate of the world's oceans, connecting it to daily experiences aboard Odyssey.
In One Ocean, Dr. Payne writes about the effects of pollution and toxicology on the marine environment.
