Whale Shark Citizen Science – Maldives

In honor of International Whale Shark Day, which is August 30…
I have posted previously about whale shark encounter tourism and its role in conservation of this enigmatic species. I recently had an opportunity to experience this personally via a 10-day volunteer gig with the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme (MWSRP). Established in 2006, MWSRP undertakes research and monitoring of whale sharks and other marine megafauna in the Maldives and uses the associated findings and data to advocate for sound conservation policy in the country.
