Seven Seas Marine Consultancy Marijke de Boer

Marijke de Boer works as a freelance marine consultant. Her work involves conducting research on marine mammals but she has developed a keen interest in other marine creatures too. She is currently doing a PhD study on cetaceans. Her work has brought her to exciting places such as the Arctic and the Antarctic. Her main challenge has been to photograph dolphins in their own environment and to collect photo-identification images of whale flukes or dorsal fins showing characteristic markings.
