Hoping this gets through. Have also tried to email. There is a photo we would very much like to use in our blog about Leatherback Turtles that belongs to Geographic Consulting. I have credited it as such and linked it to your page but would like to make sure you are aware of its use. Please see the link below and let me know if you have any concerns? www.leatherbacksinbc.org We are a non-profit in British Columbia, Canada working for marine conservation .

Jackie, Please feel free to use any photo that you like. I will take a look at your post and would be glad to re-post on our site in order to bring more attention to your work, and the interconnection between leatherback feeding habitats and their nesting habitat. Thank you
