As a marine environmental toxicologist with a PhD from Duke University, I know the importance and challenges of keeping our oceans pristine. My photographs, which can be viewed and purchased at www.mar-y-sol.smugmug.com, are inspired by the sea and sun. They portray my passions for marine environmental education, underwater exploration, sailing and travelling. My desire is that viewers will become more environmentally aware as they admire Mar-y-Sol Gallery's photos.
