I first knew Sirenian International in 2008 through internet when I was starting preparing my Msc thesis on the West African Manatee. From there I subscribe for membership. Scientific literature on the specie was few and difficult to access; but fortunately through SI I could get a good number of articles or electronic books that help me to prepare my thesis. One year later I met Dr Caryn on a Workshop on West African Manatee conservation that was organized in Ghana. The first thing I noticed is that she is a humble scientist which likes to gather peoples, ideas on particular scientific topics. I will never forget what she did for some of the participants there at the workshop who was in some financial difficulty, I was one of them, she remove from here personal money $100 to support us. What i will say is that she has enthusiast to fund and support young scientists like me; only through that act the impact of that money has reached three different countries. Still on the field in Ghana I was amaze by the devotion for manatee conservation Dr Caryn expressed as she was teaching us some courses on the order Sirenia. Really, she’s hard working. After the workshop Dr Caryn voluntary accepted to support my thesis with some counsel and literatures that she always provide freely to me, I’m sure she would even do above that if means are there . It’s thanks to SI that I'm improving in my Msc thesis. With this commitment and serious-minded, SI will continue to be sharp, efficient and unstoppable in their actions provided that means are available.
