Galapagos Shark Diving & Galapagos Whale Shark Project
In The News & Upcoming Live-event/ Past Events
By holding educational presentations about the Galapagos Whale Shark research project, the ecosystem in the Galapagos, oceans, marine wildlife and citizen science, we create more knowledge and understanding for divers and non-divers alike. We think that if you understand a species better, you can protect it. We believe that if we educate people, they will be inspired to protect our oceans and we will have more ambassadors who can create a better future for marine wildlife and their habitat.
During our live-events we share about the research project in detail and highlight some Citizen Science program you can support together with us. Every live-event also offer the opportunity to meet us in person and ask us any question you might have. Check back often as new live-events will be added as they are schedule.
See below for past and upcoming live events as well as videos, podcast episodes, and online articles that our team has been featured in! Our team has such an incredible amount of knowledge and they all share the passion of sharing their expertise of Whale Sharks, marine wildlife, and ocean conservation with others.
