Special thanks must go to Wilfred, Alison and Brenda at Marine Dynamics, who were hugely generous with their time and put up with endless phone calls, interviews and requests for help.

And, finally, thanks to everybody at Struik Nature who once again dealt with a difficult author with patience, and did a brilliant job putting this book together – Pippa Parker, Helen de Villiers, Janice Evans and Belinda van der Merwe. I apologise to anyone I have inadvertently left out.
