History / Biographical
Christian Gronau studied palaeontology and geology in Germany. He came to Canada in 1972 and worked in the mining sector in the N.W.T. (among other places), where he met Aileen. Christian and Aileen (C&A) moved together to Cortes Island in 1978, where they lived for 34 years on a water-access-only property, without hydro or telephone (Swamp’s Edge), supporting themselves as beach- only shellfish farmers (Last Farm Oysters). Throughout, C&A have been avid naturalists, continuing this tradition from their present home at the south-end of Cortes Island (Tanglebank).
