Michael Gould ( S/V Cirdan )

I have been living on my sailing vessel Cirdan for the past 16 years, travelling up and down the East Coast of the US, the Bahamas and the Carribean. Since 2015, I have been documenting dolphins that I meet along the way. Each year I have been adding better tools such as cameras, a hydrophone and underwater GoPros. Each capability allows me to better document cetaceans and share the data with others.
