 MEMBER OF THE MONTH – SAMPLE
Matthew Godfrey
Country: USA
Occupation: Biologist
Best part about my job: Beautiful ocean sunrises
Biggest challenges I
face: Trying to balance the
different forces affecting sea turtles: tourism, development, fishing,
volunteerism, etc.
The most unusual or
exciting thing that's happened to me while working in the field: Being accosted by customs officers who mistook me
for an egg poacher while I was recording data on a nesting turtle on a beach in
French Guiana
Why I like being a member
of the MTSG: It is a great
opportunity to interact and discuss issues with diverse people working on
turtles
Turtle researcher /
conservationist I most admire:
Michael Coyne (how does he have time??)
When I'm not working on
turtles I like to: Download mp3s
Ten years from now, I
hope I will be doing: More MTSG
