My name is Rob Lott and I'm a marine mammal scientist working for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society in the UK.
I feel incredibly privileged and fortunate to work for an organisation that campaigns tirelessly for the conservation and welfare of whales and dolphins across the world. Working for WDCS also gives me the opportunity to travel widely and see these conservation measures in action.
Before my work with WDCS I undertook a Masters degree in Marine Mammal Science. My thesis was based on the population dynamics of the resident bottlenose dolphin pod in Cardigan Bay in Wales. I have been fortunate enough to watch and photograph wildlife all over the world including Alaska, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Canada, Chile, Iceland, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway and the Bay of Biscay. In 2006, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on a charity trek to raise money for an African medical foundation.
But it is the ocean that draws me back and the whales and dolphins that call it home.
My favourite places on the planet are Northern Vancouver Island, Svalbard and South Georgia.
