A fulltime freelance writer and photographer who frequently covers fisheries issues, Ret will embed with a scientific expedition travelling to Indonesia in May to study the species, and he will then co-author the book based in part on that experience. Karen, a scientific illustrator and fine artist known locally as a Sawdust Art Festival exhibitor, will be the book’s primary scientific illustrator.

 

The book, with the working title “Banggai Rescue,” is planned for publication in late 2012 by Reef to Rainforest, a Vermont-based publisher.
