Dahlen, Kirsten
Kirsten Dahlen, 38, passed away unexpectedly on December 9 at her mother's home in Hockessin. She died peacefully in her sleep. Kirsten was a marine biologist, environmental educator, author, photographer and intrepid traveler who was always seeking new adventures. Her writing echoes the many paths she walked, from the Head Hunters Trail in Malaysian Borneo to the white sands of Antigua's 365 beaches. While she called the US home, her work made it hard to predict where she actually was.
Kirsten grew up in Hockessin, Delaware graduating from Ursuline Academy and then Goucher College in Towson, Maryland. She is preceded in death by her father, Dr. Rolf J. Dahlen. Kirsten spent 15 years working with sea turtles in the Caribbean, Latin America, South East Asia and the United States. Kirsten has worked on world-renowned sea turtle nesting studies in Jumby Bay, Antigua and Little Cumberland Island, Georgia, USA. She worked with communities worldwide to develop sea turtle friendly beach practices and educational outreach programs. Kirsten also worked with industry, lending her experience in attempts to mitigate harmful effects on the marine environment. Through this work she was asked to contribute to the clean up efforts at the World Trade Center in September 2001. Her lifelong passion for the sea is shared with all in her recent works "Wrong Way Peach Fuzz: A Turtle Tale" and "Peach Fuzz: The Early Years", in addition to her photography, essay collections and blogs.
She is survived by her mother, Mary Carr Meunier Dahlen of Hockessin, her brother, Peter Rolf Dahlen of Stockholm, his wife Helene and son Sebastian. Sister, Meghan Dahlen Freeland of Hillsborough, NC, husband Tom and son Gabriel and brother, Sean Dahlen, who like his sister calls the world home.
