Born in New York, Jack Rudloe moved to Florida as a boy and began his self-education as a marine biologist. In 1964 he founded the Gulf Coast Specimen Company of Panacea, Florida, which collects marine specimens for laboratories around the world. A few years later he began writing personal narratives that blend science and philosophy as they explore contemporary problems of marine ecology.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by an early correspondence with John Steinbeck, Rudloe&#8217;s works combine concrete descriptions of the coastal environment&#8217;s ecological diversity with philosophical speculations on life and death, coastal development, and the struggle between the human desire for knowledge and nature&#8217;s need to exist untouched. His first books, <em>The Sea Brings Forth <\/em>(1968) and <em>The Erotic Ocean <\/em>(1971), focus on specimen collecting. <em>The Living Dock at Panacea <\/em>(1977), a more autobiographical work, describes a year in the life of the dock in front of his home on Dickerson Bay.<em> The Time of the Turtle <\/em>(1978) traces the life cycle of the sea turtle, and <em>The Wilderness Coast<\/em> (1988) describes numerous forays after rare sea creatures. Rudloe has contributed articles to such naturalist periodicals as <em>Audubon, National Geographic,<\/em> and <em>Natural History,<\/em> many of them coauthored with his wife, Ann Rudloe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>The Erotic Ocean&nbsp;<\/em>(1971)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/eroticoceanhandb00rudl\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>The Living Dock at Panacea&nbsp;<\/em>(1977)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/livingdockatpana00rudl\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>The Time of the Turtle&nbsp;<\/em>(1978)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/timeofturtle0000rudl_v5c3\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>The Wilderness Coast<\/em>&nbsp;(1988)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/wildernesscoasta00rudl\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>keywords: male, white, activism, Ricketts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dennis Berthold&nbsp;(2000) RUDLOE, JACK [J.] (1943- ).
