Blake Matheson Blake Matheson is a fourth generation resident of the Monterey Peninsula with a deep and life-long devotion to the marine wilderness of Monterey Bay. He was born and raised near Point Pinos on the outer Peninsula where he grew up hand-lining the kelp forests for his dinner in the happy company of rorquals and great whites. An active birder since high school, he has traveled extensively across the globe from the high arctic to the old world tropics to pursue his passion for being in the presence of our planet's most magnificent and endangered birds and mammals. He is an environmental lawyer by training and devotes much of his free time to writing and wildlife photography. Blake currently serves as president of the Monterey Audubon Society and sits on the board of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.
