Rosalie Sea Turtle Initiative Project

29 Jun 2006

I’m fortunate to have met Rowan Byrne, Director of the Rosalie Sea initiative Turtle-RoSTI. An Irish Marine & Freshwater biologist who has worked with endangered sea turtles around the world. He has appeared in a large number of TV programs and has written articles on worldwide issues.

In 2005 Rowan worked with BBC Natural History Unit on a new series called “Secrets of The Caribbean�? out winter 2006 and Disney while they were shooting Pirates of Caribbean two and three. Most notable, was his work with National Geographic Channel Asia, which was aired during September 2002. This revolutionary project focused on work with globally endangered sea turtles and dugongs in the Philippines.

Since 2003 Rowan has regularly appeared on many programs on television & Radio, including, ‘Mooney Goes Wild, Marian Finucane Show, News2days on the Den, and Open House. In 2003 he had a weekly Internet diary of events called ‘Rowan’s Turtle Diaries’, on RTE Radio. Media publications include many wildlife articles in Wild Ireland Magazine, Eco Magazines and SUBSEA

His website Marine Creatures dot com keeps you up-to-date with both Rowan’s current and pending published works, as well as his many and varied media activities. It also aims to give you a preview of his extensive stock library of photographs and video galleries of many marine creatures from around the world.
