=== Angie Gullan === Angie is passionate about dolphins, their wellbeing and planetary healing. She shares a longstanding relationship with a special population of dolphins and developed Dolphin Encountours Research Center in Mozambique whilst in her early 20’s. With more than 15 years experience in educational and ethical wild dolphin encounters she has become a trusted and recognized citizen scientist whose longterm eco-tourism & DolphinCare monitoring project contributed to the creation of the Ponta do Ouro partial marine reserve and the implementation of marine mammal regulations in Mozambique.

Her special relationship with the dolphins has been featured on Tv & Radio (Carte Blanche, 50/50, 702 & SkyNews) and her unique behavioral footage been used in documentaries and movies (Brains before beauty, Spy in the Pod, Nai Nai). Her work has been sighted in publications including Whale Watch Guidelines and Regulations around the World, Sustainable Dolphin Tourism in East Africa & Whale Watching Worldwide: Tourism numbers, expenditures and economic benefits.

In June 2010 Angie’s life and work was shaken to the core when both the Dolphin Center and her home burned to the ground. Although everything was lost, the love and her passion for dolphins still remains.

Angie lives in Ponta do Ouro, Mozambique with her partner Mitchel. She is a mother of two beautiful teenagers who live in Johannesburg. She strives to create a safe space for human dolphin encounters to take place while recording the wild Dolphins of Ponta behaviour, associations and calving success rates while collaborating with Mozambican biologists Dr Almeida Guissamulo and Diana Rocha.
