The Whale Shark - the world's largest fish - is listed on the World Conservation Union's Red List of Threatened Animals as "indeterminate" status. Not enough is even known about the Whale Shark to call it endangered!!
thailand whale Shark Research in thailand
The Whale Shark needs your help! Our research project, in association with ECOCEAN, hopes to document sightings and encounters in Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia. As a "threatened species", we seek to understand and track our local whale shark population in order to better protect it. Our Research will aid the global campaign to document Whale Shark migratory and reproductive behavior.

The most frequent sightings in Thailand are at a site called Richelieu Rock. This years reasearch programs will be centered on this and surrounding areas. Whale Sharks are sighted at outer areas nearby, so we will keep our format open to accommodate such sightings.

We offer full accommodation during our expeditions - Housing on the amazing Koh Phra thong at Golden Buddha Resort, or through our scholarship program

Volunteeers Can join our projects in March and April.
