About

Hi, I’m Kai Mattsson. I’ve built my career around my passion for marine animals, starting from working at the largest public aquarium in Finland to founding my own consulting company. Over the years, I’ve developed expertise in marine mammals, aquarium technology, animal behaviour, and theatrical productions involving animals. I enjoy combining my knowledge of animal care with creative projects such as shows and sound design.

Besides my work with dolphins and marine animals, I’ve contributed to international consultancy, education, and welfare projects. Music and photography are also close to my heart, and I actively integrate these interests into my professional and hobbyist pursuits. I’m always eager to share my experiences through lectures, consulting, and collaborative projects.
