"My soul is with the sea"

'Hamish Saunders was a New Zealand volunteer
who died tragically in 2003 while conducting
survey work on a Tasmanian endangered species
program. Hamish graduated from Waikato
University with a First Class Honours and Masters
degree in marine geology. He later completed a
postgraduate GIS course with distinction. He also
achieved qualifications as a scuba dive instructor,
was a good sportsman and was talented, not
solely academically, but as an all round individual.

As an explorer, Hamish achieved in his 26 years
much of which most only dream. From Antarctica
to the Galapagos, Central America, South
America, South-East Asia, Europe and Australia,
he combined his passion for the natural world
and conservation with that of an interest in local
cultures and people. Not only did he travel to
these places, but he also took a great interest in
the people around him. He touched many lives.
Hamish was a remarkable and talented young
man. The passion and enthusiasm he engendered
in those whom he met and the gentle leadership
he embodied is his legacy.'
