For anyone interested, finally some real tracking info on where whale sharks go after leaving Darwin...exciting! Up until now, no one has ever had a clue and since so many of the whale sharks at Darwin are pregnant females could lead both to finally someone capturing whale sharks birthing as well as the intended dreamed of expansion of the Marine Reserve boundaries. Of course, this info in public could also lead to commercial fishing...perish the thought. There's more info on the Facebook page than on the website for the Whale Shark Project, though Migramar.org does a good job of staying updated.

Fascinating too that a Silky shark tagged in Galapagos was tracked 2200 kilometers to Clipperton Atoll.
And for those of you heading to Galapagos this whale shark season, an easy 1-2 step photo direction on how to photograph a whale shark so that your shot is useable for ID purposes.
Exciting stuff to me!
