Guy Harvey is a unique blend of artist, scientist, diver, angler, conservationist and explorer - fiercely devoted to his family and his love of the sea. Growing up in Jamaica, Guy spent many hours fishing and diving with his father along the island nation's south coast. He was obsessed with marine life and began drawing pictures of the many different fish he observed.

In early 2008, Guy started the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding leading scientists as they develop new strategies for sensible fisheries management and educators, who will create novel instructional programs to stimulate future scientists and stewards of the marine environment.
