"Although I have never met Chantelle, I've been following her adventures for a long, long time, first on her site orcagirl and now on Flickr as well :) Everything that I have seen and read tells me that she is a remarkable person who is extremely passionate about wildlife. I admire her greatly, for all the effort she has put in to her various projects, and for the numerous little things I've come to know about orcas from perusing her sites :)"

"C., thanx for adding me on.
When in Mexico, I´m closer than you think.
Just point your lense at Colombia´s Caribbean Coast.
You just might see me frolicking with the fish. I´m there a lot.
Better yet......why not make a pit stop.
Mi casa es su casa. Chao."

Da Rodent says:
"Chantelle's passion in everything she does is evident with her work. She will throw everything into a project she is working on, and give it her "all" to completion. Although I haven't had the wonderful opportunity to work with her, just the fact of talking with her has opened my eyes to new wonders."

Aqua Green says:
"Chantelle and I first met while working together as a team for the Luna Stewardship Project in Gold River. During the summer and fall of 2003, we developed a strong partnership and founded the Ocean Society to raise awareness on marine conservation issues. Chantelle’s ties to First Nations and documentation skills incorporate to produce amazing documentations about the history and elegance of British Columbia."
