Ret Talbot is an award-winning independent journalist and writer who covers ocean issues and fisheries at the intersection of science and sustainability. His most recent book is Chasing Shadows, written with shark biologist Greg Skomal. At its heart, it is a conservation success story about restoring an apex predator to an ecosystem told through the eyes of a leading white shark biologist who found himself in the middle of it all. Talbot's work can also be found in publications such as Discover Magazine, National Geographic, Mongabay, Ocean Geographic, Coral Magazine, and Yale Environment 360. He lives on the coast of Maine with his wife, scientific illustrator Karen Talbot. You can connect with him on Facebook and Instagram
