Author Bio(s)
Guy Harvey is a unique blend of artist, scientist, angler, diver, conservationist and explorer. Growing up on the south coast of Jamaica, Guy learned to fish and dive, gaining an appreciation for the marine environment. He combines his love of the sea and a Ph.D. in marine biology with his art, business, and philanthropy. Guy’s artwork is reproduced on a range of merchandise that brings the undersea world into everyday life. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these products benefits the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation (GHOF). The GHOF funds research organizations and educational programs worldwide and supports the NSU Guy Harvey Research Institute, which provides the scientific information necessary to understand, conserve and effectively manage the world's marine fishes and their ecosystems. Guy continues his relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries of the sea, traveling the world to better understand the habits and habitats of marine wildlife.
