COMMENTS Files on cetaceans (whales and dolphins) and elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are among the most comprehensive in the world. They feature rare species not available elsewhere and a full range of issues affecting these animals from birth to death. Also dramatic images well-suited for advertising or graphics use. Our staff includes five certified scuba divers, one person with a zoology degree, one with an oceanography degree, one with a degree in fine arts/photography and one with a master's degree in marine biology. We know our subject matter and take pride in providing accurate and detailed caption and background information.
