“Ocean Duets reminds us that the beauty of marine life and all living species is that we are not solitary animals. Life is meant to be lived in pairs in the fabulous symmetry of nature. Michele Westmorland has given us the gift of a virtual Noah’s Ark of amazing images that lead us to greater respect and admiration for our ocean world, two-by-two.”

—Jean-Michel Cousteau

Award winning producer, founder and president of the Ocean Futures Society

 

“The power of photographer to raise awareness for conservation is perfectly illustrated in this easy-to-read and entertaining book. Michele’s commitment to our planet’s marine biodiversity is clearly evident on every page.”

— Dr. Russel A. Mittermeier, President, Conservation International

 

“To better see and understand the marine world is to better know a part of ourselves. This delightful and insightful book does just that, and is as revealing as it is visually wonderful.”

—Vance G. Martin, president, The Wild Foundation

 

“Westmorland’s photographer is not only composed with an artist’s eye, but many of the bizarre macro critters she has recorded are entirely new to me. I am delighted to add this fine new work to my collection.”
