60 Minutes Maldives – Day 5 – Last but not Least!

By Guy Stevens, 28th October 2011

This is our last day at sea, we will be returning to Male shortly.

We have all had a good time on this excellent boat, with great manta viewings, a lot of good interaction and footage and photo opportunities. I will be sorry to have to say goodbye to this enthousiastic, great film crew, to project leader Guy and his manta rays. I have had a wonderful opportunity to meet someone who is a true conservationist with an enormous passion for the underwater world and the chance to meet people who are passionate about the opportunity to capture this on film.

On behalf of Save Our Seas Foundation, I would like the whole team of Nine Networks Australia and Save Our Seas scientist Mark Meekan for joining us here in the Maldives, and for the opportunity to show the work of Guy Stevens and the Save Our Seas Foundation to a large audience. Thanks, guys!
