He has published scientific papers on biology and descriptions of new taxa, and articles on seahorses, seadragons and other aquatic life have appeared in magazines around the world. Timothy J. Godfrey has been researching the atolls of the Maldives since 1986 when he started work as a dive instructor and guide on safari boats.
