David E. Guggenheim eschewed medical school to become a doctor—an ocean doctor. After pocketing his first master's degree in population and aquatic biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, a second in regional biology from the University of Pennsylvania, and finally earning a PhD in environmental studies and public policy, Guggenheim set out to conquer global warming, unsustainable fish-farming practices, and Siberian forest ecology while working with numerous government agencies and private environmental groups.
Now the explorer and conservationist works and blogs out of 1planet1ocean, his non-profit consultancy firm based in Washington, DC. He uses his oil spill-related posts to offer his opinions on sustainable aquaculture techniques and to advance his efforts to protect Cuba’s marine environment through The Ocean Foundation.
Guggenheim enhances his posts with underwater video and vibrant photos. You can view his efforts at:
