Whales & Dolphins of the Greater Dyer Island Area

We’re excited to share the first edition of Whales & Dolphins of the Greater Dyer Island Area, written and illustrated by Sandra Hörbst, marine biologist at Marine Dynamics.

Sandra spends her days on the water, guiding trips to see the Marine Big 5 and sharing her knowledge and passion for whales, dolphins, and the marine environment. In this debut book, she brings together years of experience in both writing and illustration.

The production of the book has been funded by Marine Dynamics, and all proceeds go towards the important marine conservation and research work of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust.

This first edition is now available at the Great White House Collection curio shop. Stop by to be one of the first to get a copy and support the Dyer Island Conservation Trust with their research and conservation projects.
