Guy Harvey is one of the most prolific and influential artists in the world of fishing. Known as the king of the fishing t-shirt industry, he has captivated generations with his iconic murals depicting billfish and marine life. His passion for these creatures has taken him to the farthest corners of the ocean, where he has had the privilege of observing them up close in their natural habitat. But who is the man behind the legendary name and his signature long-legged lettering? Having met Guy before, I was struck by the depth of his curiosity and creativity, traits that define his life's work. Beyond his artistry, Guy is deeply committed to marine research and conservation. His dedication is evident in his founding of the Guy Harvey Research Institute and the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, both of which are at the forefront of efforts to protect marine ecosystems. In this conversation, we catch up with Guy as he heads to Palm Beach, Florida, to receive yet another well-deserved honor. We discuss his lifelong passion for fishing, his love for art, and his unwavering dedication for billfish conservation.

Guy Harvey is well known for his depictions of marine life, especially marlin and other sportfish species. Guy's interest in the marine environment, however, extends beyond art to science and conservation. He holds a Ph.D. in fisheries biology and actively supports marine scientific research through the Guy Harvey Research Institute and Guy Harvey Oceanographic Institute at Nova Southeastern University. Similarly, the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation funds scientific research and educational programs aimed at conserving the marine environment. In conversation with host Mike Leonard, Guy discusses his childhood in Jamaica, his foundation's new education initiative and his views on marine conservation.

Join our host Scott Hall, of Hall'Em In Fishin' as he brings you this spectacular interview with Dr. Guy Harvey. Dr. 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, Dr. Harvey spent many hours fishing and diving with his father along the Island’s south coast. He was obsessed with the creatures of the sea and began drawing pictures of the many different fish he observed. Dr. Harvey's artwork can be found in art exhibits, stores, galleries, restaurants and at fishing tournaments. He makes appearances at store openings as well as public appearances for a variety of environmental causes. From his early inspirations, Guy’s natural gift to recreate marine life has propelled him from Professor of Marine Biology to a Wildlife Artist and Photographer. Guy initially opted for a scientific education, earning high honors in Marine Biology at Aberdeen University in Scotland in 1977. He continued his formal training at the University of West Indies, where he obtained a Doctorate in Fisheries Management. In 1985, he depicted Ernest Hemingway’s famous fishing story "The Old Man & the Sea" through a series of 44 original pen and ink drawings and displayed them at an exhibition in Jamaica. Based on the positive response he received at the show, Dr. Harvey began painting full time and by 1988 was providing custom artwork for use on a variety of products. Guy began to travel the world to gain more knowledge of the habits and activities of marine wildlife. He became an avid scuba diver and skilled underwater photographer. He pioneered a technique of diving and photographing free-swimming billfish. His personal observations made during these diving expeditions have better enabled him to capture the detail in his paintings that contributes to the popularity of his work. A passion for the beauty and wonder of the underwater world has driven Dr. Guy Harvey to be a leading conservationist and advocate for the protection of our environment. Guy dedicates much of his talent, time and resources to programs that protect our oceans, fish population and reef systems. The Guy Harvey Research Institute at Nova Southeastern University and The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation have taken on a leadership role in providing the scientific information necessary to understand and protect the world’s fish resources and biodiversity from continued decline.

This month we submerge ourselves in the science of tracking sharks. How do we follow them, where do they go, and what do they get up to when we're not watching? We catch up with Ecocean's Brad Norman to find out how he was inspired by the stars to help track the biggest fish in the seas. Mahmood Shivji from the Guy Harvey Research Institute tells us about how cutting edge genetic tools are helping to track the trade in sharks fins. And Boris Worm chooses our Critter of the Month.
