Nancy was certified (in duck feet) in 1961 and later was the first woman to publish an article and undersea photographs in Skin Diver magazine. As a resident of the Caymans, she founded the islands’ Conservation Association and became a proponent of coral reef preservation. Most of Nancy’s 300 published articles have emphasized marine biodiversity. She is a winner of the 1985 NOGI Award for Arts, and she continues to foster marine science education by producing CDs and award-winning videos for regional schools.
