We explore a conversation that John Anderson had with Hardy Jones, in 2012. Hardy planned a career as a journalist after graduating college, but as life would have it, something else caught his interest. With his college degree in hand and a couple of journalism jobs under his belt, Hardy heard about a pod of spotted dolphins that visited and interacted with a team of treasure salvage divers working in the Bahamas. Hardy released his first conservation film on dolphins in 1979. This film, "Dolphin" helped to sway the tuna industry away from using dolphins as indicators and setting their nets on them. Subsequently, he produced 76 additional conservation films and one book during his career.
