    When will these talks be available with Spanish subtitles. I am reposting this information to a group of people from Galapagos and since not all of them speak Spanish it would be very helpful to provide them with an opportunity to share this information. In order to help save the ocean around Galapagos the people who live there must be turned into stakeholders in this endeavor.

      We have an open translation program which depends on the efforts (and timing) of individual volunteer translators. However, the group translating into Spanish have been superb, so I’m guessing this will happen pretty quickly. Thanks for your interest and help. The Mission Blue trip to Galapagos was an unforgettable experience.

    Amazing talk. I am absolutely fascinated by the marine life that Mr. deGruy describes, and find it worthy of respect that he has not lost his fascination and love for the sea after the shark attack he suffered. The world needs more people like this. :-)
