Dr. John J. Dindo, assistant director of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, has been greatly involved in Alabama's outdoor industry for more than 30 years as an educator, scientist and sportsman.

He also created and continues to manage an award-winning K through 2 program at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, named Discovery Hall.

As an outdoorsman, Dr. Dindo is an avid hunter and fisherman, frequenting the delights of the Delta and the waters of the Gulf as often as he can. He takes great pleasure in interacting with the public on his famous tours of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mobile Delta.
