During his career, Dr. Grove spent over 30 years as a marine biologist with the Charles Darwin Foundation between 1975 and 2011 and over 30 years as a research associate with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County between 1982 and 2014. He also became affiliated with Eye on the World Inc. in 1986 as both a marine biologist and underwater photographer, and co-founded Zegrahm Expeditions in 1990 as a dive master and naturalist, where he was afforded the opportunity to dive and conduct marine research in some of the most remote areas of the earth's oceans.

Apart from his field work, Dr. Grove has lectured frequently on marine biology. Topics have included "Marine Biodiversity and Why it Matters," "The Art and the Science of Fish Watching," and "Ocean Currents and Climate Change."
