When Michigan native Peggy Stap saw her first whales on a whale watch in Maui, Hawaii, it was a life-changing experience. In fact, she knew she had found her life’s calling – to help the world understand and protect these amazing creatures. She also realized that the next generation holds the keys to a better understanding of the importance of our planet’s ocean ecology, and that through education and experience, children learn the value of becoming stewards of the oceans, animals and the environment entrusted to us all. © Marine Life Studies.
