As a result, many of his pictures were the first ever published of living species in their natural habitat. These efforts made it possible for underwater naturalists to make valid non-impact biodiversity assessments of reef ecosystems. In , he was honored with the NOGI award for sports and education. Since , he has been transforming a 2-acre former horse meadow in Davie, Florida into a collection of bamboos, orchids, ferns, bromeliads and over species of palm trees.
