Robin Petch & Kris Simpson - BIOGRAPHY

Robin and Kris are the Project Directors of Dolphinspotter.co.uk and Education Co-Ordinators for International Dolphin Watch. Both experienced teachers, they have devoted much of their time to developing an understanding of conservation issues amongst children and adults.

Like many people, they became fascinated by dolphins as children but first became actively involved during a working holiday studying whales in Newfoundland. Since that time they have devoted much of their spare time to whale and dolphin conservation.

The website is created and edited by Robin, while Kris produces some of the content and deals with emails daily. Much in demand for talks, presentations and workshops, they are Founder Members of the International Conference of Self Knowledge in Milan and skilled communicators with adults and children.

Robin and Kris are now Regional Co-ordinators for the SeaWatch Foundation and working to encourage members of the public to become involved in recording UK whale, dolphin and porpoise sightings. They also run the  www.dolphinspotter.co.uk  scheme for reporting sightings, especially on the coast of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

They have been closely involved with Dr. Horace Dobbs’ "Dilo" stories and are proud to have co-written "Dilo’s Fun and Activities Book" and "Fascinating Facts about Dolphins and their World" with Horace. They have also produced a range of educational materials.
