Harry Breidhal- Marine Educator

Anth and Bron started talking about birds - and after initially bagging seagulls, decided that they were not that bad really - especially the Pacific seagull - which is really an all right bird as far as birds go.

Anth has a friend who needs a bit of help - after loosing an expensive video to a shark he got into the water to see if he could find it.

The Global Ocean Exploration Conference was recently held in Paris - and Harry was there with his marine exploration heroes. The projects coming around the corner included autonomous robots to trail whales (presumably for scientific purposes), or the Japanese plan to drill into the core of the planet.

Harry found that the scientists were so deeply involved in their work that they didn't really think that anyone else would be interested. They were like big kids with their toys !!!
