Kenya: Whale Shark Acoustic Tagging Expedition, EAWST

Following the record breaking satellite tagging expedition last month we invite you to come and take part in the first ever whale shark acoustic tagging expedition on Kenya’s beautiful south coast. We will be putting out acoustic receivers at various key points along Diani beach as well as tagging whale sharks in order to determine how faithful our whale shark population is to this area. You are welcome to join us on our daily whale shark expeditions. Watch the research team tag the world’s largest fish. Swim with whale sharks! Support our ground-breaking research and be a part of our team. You even can buy a tag and adopt a shark.

You can expect to see whale sharks and your boat will be guided to the sharks by a spotter plane. Your whale shark safari will last around 4 hours leaving at 11am. Please bring your own refreshments!19 – 27 APRIL 2008 DIANI BEACH, KENYA

This time around we have limited the amount of seats to 10 and we will only be using one boat. The aim is to increase the amount of time with each whale shark and thereby conduct more research in the expedition time. Ultimately more whale shark time for everyeone!

  • Limbe Wildlife Centre in SW Cameroon takes care of infant primates that are lucky enough to be rescued from the illegal pet trade. In November 2007, ACF, ERuDeF and Daniel Taylor organised an art workshop with 13 Cameroonian artists in the centre in order to raise awareness and funding for great apes conservation.
