Course Facilitator
| Name | David K. Cairns |
| Background |
David Cairns is a marine biologist with many years of northern experience. He considers himself singularly fortunate to have been paid to gaze up at whales, sit still while a puffin unties his bootlaces, steer Zodiacs through bergy bits, sleep among the ghosts of great auks, and narrowly avert disaster involving a nighttime call of nature and a sleeping grey seal.
He flies drones to map underwater habitat. He can't believe that he's actually paid to do this!
