Dr. Chris Harvey-Clark obtained a B.Sc. degree with Distinction in Marine Biology in 1981 at the University of Victoria, followed by a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1985 from the University of Saskatchewan, and has practiced mixed species and aquatic/ exotic animal medicine in five provinces. Currently appointed at Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S., he has published more than 50 research and clinical papers and book chapters on veterinary aspects of wildlife and marine species.
In 1995, he initiated a WWF-funded research program elucidating the biology of the leatherback sea turtle in the North Atlantic Ocean which resulted in the creation of the Canadian Sea Turtle Network. In 2003, he developed a diving research program using telemetry to investigate the biology and ecology of the Greenland shark and continues to use similar techniques in the study of another elusive species, the Atlantic Torpedo ray. Since 2018, Harvey-Clark has been active in research and conservation efforts focussed on the restoration of the severely endangered Atlantic Whitefish.
As part of a lifetime of support for citizen science and facilitating marine environmental conservation, he has written, filmed and hosted more than 30 natural history documentaries for Discovery Channel, BBC, National Film Board of Canada, History Channel, Netflix and National Geographic. An avid underwater image maker and diver since 1976, he participated in the creation of the late Rob Stewarts famous documentary Sharkwater II; Extinction. He wrote the first photo-illustrated marine life guide to the Maritimes, Eastern Tidepool and Reef, in 1996, a Canadian bestseller. In 2021 he published an expanded new guide, Maritime Marine Life. Since 2020, his research has involved the first-ever Canadian photo identification database documenting the resurgence of great white sharks in Atlantic Canadian waters.
More on Chris’ upcoming book “In Search of the Great Canadian Shark” available March 15, 2024 (info from Nimbus Publishing)
The story provides a firsthand account of underwater naturalist and veterinarian Dr Chris Harvey-Clark’s many diving research adventures with sharks, torpedo rays, endangered Northern Right Whales and other charismatic megafauna in Canadian waters. The book is loaded with fascinating biological discoveries and anecdotes featuring the secret lives of aquatic animals and tells the story of a burgeoning passion for marine species and undersea exploration.
From early experiences as a marine biologist and commercial diver to later, first-ever studies with Greenland sharks, torpedo rays, beavers and ultimately Great White sharks in Canadian waters, Chris gives you an immersive look at the unique animals and people encountered in Canada’s three oceans, as global warming changes the invisible underwater world that surrounds us.

Ron offers up some tips on modifying a muzzleloader for sighted targeting assistance; Lawrence reflects on forest fires, smoke, and what it means for the iconic campfire; and in Lilly’s “Did You Know” segment, she explores myths and facts surrounding the Northern Lights.
Ron is the host of AMI-tv series Blind Adventures with Ron Walsh, where Ron and his friends explore Saskatchewan and the exciting locations the province has to offer.
Stream both seasons now on AMI.ca or the free AMI-tv app.
Ron Walsh Bio
Ron Walsh realized he might have a vision problem while on a hunting trip in his twenties when he couldn’t see a deer clearly visible to others. He was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a genetic degenerative disease that progressively impairs vision. Ron continued with an active life as his vision deteriorated and when forced to give up his driver’s license, he embraced cycling, embarking on a two-week journey from Calgary to Victoria through the Rogers Pass. Eventually, Ron was forced to give up cycling, but he did not let his blindness become a barrier. Among his many exploits, he became one of the few blind people to traverse the Chilkoot Trail and completed a ten-day canoe trek across the Churchill River.
Grateful for his many adventures and the help he received to achieve them, Ron created a foundation dedicated to removing barriers for members of the blind and partially sighted community so they can engage in the same exciting, engaging and fun activities. Ron can be found either planning or out on adventures that include hiking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, golfing, bowling, dog-sledding, sailing, kayaking and many others, even some he hasn’t thought of… yet.
