Autorenporträt

Peter J. Vine is a marine biologist and author with special interests in coral reef ecology, marine conservation, photography, and film-making. An adjunct lecturer at the National University of Ireland, Galway, he established one of the country's first commercial fish farms - a move that led to activities in the USA, Europe, and the Middle East. Returning to Ireland, a series of authorship commissions led to the establishment of three media companies involved in book publishing, film production, and project development in support of a series of award-winning national pavilions at World Expos in Spain, China, South Korea, and Italy. Peter is married to Paula and has three daughters, Catriona, Sinead, and Megan, all of whom, with their respective partners, live and work in Ireland.
