PERSONAL QUOTE

"What truly surprises me about the Gulf of California is how alive it is. It’s islands, populated not by people but by seabirds and sea lions give an impression of wilderness far beyond the proximity of the U.S. and mainland Mexico. Despite serious over-fishing for some species, for animals like whales, dolphins, and seabirds, the Gulf is largely a safe haven. For us it is haven too, an easily accessed place to marvel at wild abundance, wide horizons, and intense desert beauty."
