One day, I thought I'd try dolphin watching & i would hate it & considered returning home to find a different career. If it weren't for the excellent mentorship I received, this path might have ended in failure. Now, each day feels like I'm living a dream.

“Wheels up in 2 hours” and thrilled to visit a new location, documenting the diversity of marine mammal species around the coast of Lamu up to the Somali border. Eager to see what surprises Lamu has in store for us.” #Whale #Dolphins

My trusty GoPro , the Hero 7 and 10, went out with a bang! Six and three years of adventures captured, never to be returned. Those were incredible journeys, filled with action and unforgettable moments. I wouldn't have documented them any other way.

One of our better photo-ID shots, showing how many tooth rakes & scars some endangered Indian Ocean humpback dolphins have. This animal is now entered into our growing catalogue of individuals using the waters in Tanga Tanzania. SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) WatamuMarineAssoc. Gilbert Mwang'ombe M Grant Ellis

The worse heart break is your HDD getting corrupted and erasing all your data, projects, photos, and memory, and you have a pending partner report.. Good thing the street taught us how to deal with these cases, and I couldn't have any better name to rename it.

Day 38 : For the first time in 9 years, our Land base survey has reported zero Humpback whale sightings during the peak period. This unprecedented absence has also impacted local operators who were gearing up for whale watching tours this year.

The Power of #Citizenscience . How citizen science can help shape marine conservation, through giving us the bigger picture that we might miss due to limitations like availability of funding.

Marereni where myths breathe through the waves. Whispers of beach walking hippos, unseen lions, & a colossal serpent give way to pristine sands, galactic skies, & flavors that rival fine dining. All it takes is creativity... and courage. #MarereniMagic #WanderKenya
