As a leading figure in the movement to protect whales, dolphins and marinelife, Michael promotes films and educational campaigns designed to focus public attention on marine mammals, fisheries, plastic debris and toxic chemical pollution. In recent years Michael Bailey served as Promoter and Campaign Manager for the Academy Award winning documentary 'The Cove'- a film that exposes the killing of dolphins whose mercury-polluted flesh is fed to unsuspecting school children in Japan.

Michael has organized expeditions and public events which involve working within native tribes and villages in Alaska and Canada to protect and preserve the sensitive Arctic ecosystem. Advancing news media campaigns in Hawaii to protect native species, cultural sites and Hawaiian traditions is also an ongoing initiative.

Other endeavors include speaking tours in Japan and abroad to provide information about the value of microorganisms in organic farming, bioremediation and human health. His work on behalf of organic farmers who use EM- Effective Microorganisms - is depicted in numerous video production. When in Japan, Michael frequently is hosted by the 800 year old Myorenji Buddhist temple in Kyoto, whose spiritual leaders similarly support environmental and wildlife protection programs.

Michael’s true calling was found young in life, when diving, conservation and international travel adventures began at age 17. At age 21 he began directing high seas expeditions which provided key film images for acclaimed feature television documentaries such as the National Geographic Great Whales’ documentary, ABC Television Network’s “ American Sportsman Whales’ documentary and Turner Broadcasting’s “From No Man’s Land a Porpoise Cries.”

Living and surviving on frozen iceflows in sub-zero conditions and enduring weeks of continuous action in storm -tossed seas proved to be excellent training experiences for his present role as field cameraman and expedition organizer.

Michael is experienced with directing wildlife conservation projects in cooperation with television and news media agencies such as Turner Broadcasting, Cable News Network, BBC and TV-3 United Kingdom, Chinese Public Television-Taiwan, Asahi News Japan and National Geographic magazine. His camerawork periodically graces the Animal Planet cable channel.

Conducting multimedia presentations at conferences, universities, Earth Day events and other forums is also a key aspect of Michael’s ongoing efforts to advance public education and further outreach into the international community.

Michael’s skills include video and still photography, script-writing and producing.
