We could also help to standardize Whale Shark interaction. For instance I do not think Whale Shark Diving will harm the animal at all but it is not allowed in Mexico so we are missing the chance to bring many divers toward this activity. If we all share our experiences we could extend the Whale Shark knowledge among the online travelers community.

I would love to see them too and am planning a liveabord trip now from end September to Oct. Would you recommend best liveaboard to see whalesharks. Also interested in your research group. Any way to help get the word out to protect these beautiful animals and others really needs to be a priority in the world as many places are really being depleted of sharks altogether. Like Cocos islands off Costa Rica I hear about many shark fin pirates. We all need to get the word out to the world before things get worse. I do some internet marketing and would love to hear more from you and ways to help. Thanks and god bless. See the Maldives soon! Todd Wow that is great your efforts to help protect the whalesharks.

There are budget to 5 star deluxe resorts in this region. You may check the hotels by clicking http://www.maldiveshotels.mv/hotels-in-south-ari-atoll There are various ways you can contribute and take part in this programm. The most obvious way is to volunteer time and become part of the research team in the Maldives. Opportunities for this at present are limited to April - June, and December - January every year. Volunteering time while in your own country is also possible. This would involve; marketing, distributing leaflets, even just emailing us and letting us know what you can do and how you would like to help. Obviously donating money or equipment is a great help to the cause also. Further details on this will be posted soon to the blog. Thank you, Shanoon Dear Readers,
