Expert Led Since 1998

Dr. Charles Anderson

I moved to the Maldives from the UK in 1983. For 15 years I worked for the Ministry of Fisheries in Malé, initially as a fishery statistician and subsequently as a founding member of the Marine Research Centre (MRC, now the Maldives Marine Research Institute). In 1998, with my wife Susan, I set up the Whale and Dolphin Company.
