Brooke (9 yrs.) and Garett (11 yrs.) Taylor are seasoned ocean travelers, having sailed with their father on the Research Vessel Tiburon throughout the Caribbean and South Atlantic.  Both are snorkelers and scuba divers, comfortable at depths up to 100 ft./30 m.  Garett has the distinction of being the youngest REEF-certified [Reef Environmental Education Foundation] volunteer fish counter, passing his test of identifying one hundred fish species at the age of 5.  Accompanying their father on various research expeditions has meant they have not only met marine scientists, but have been involved first hand in the field research.  They have measured sharks, assisting as tracking monitors are placed into the dorsal fin; identified fish species killed as by-product catch of shrimpers’ trawling; observed great white and tiger sharks from inside a dive cage; and observed behaviors and swam with spotted dolphin pods. They are youth advisors for MagicPorthole.org, a Yale based National Science Foundation funded childrens education site. These young explorers have now expanded their geographic range with an expedition to the Canadian High Arctic (May of 2007) Inuit tribe at Resolute Bay, just 175 miles south of the North Pole, as members of the Wild Blue Kids Arctic explorers’ team.  Follow their blog's live from May 20th to the 27th , 2007
