Support the training of locals in data collectin

About

After more than 7 years of welcoming foreign volunteers, this year we've decided to train young locals directly in order to continue our data collection on whale sharks in Nosy Be!

To make this project a reality, we need to renew our equipment (underwater cameras), support each individual financially for their contribution, cover their meals and provide a three-day training course, including an introduction to freediving. We plan to train 6 locals from Nosy Be, who have already qualified as lifeguards, as well as our Masters student who will be joining us for the season. One of them will assist our Malagasy PhD student in his data collection specifically, while the others will have the opportunity several times a week to go out to sea with one of our tourism partners to collect data.

About

The whale shark, the world's largest fish, is a listed endangered species, threatened by industrial fishing, plastic pollution and boat collisions, which is disappearing at an alarming rate. Initially a pilot project, the Madagascar Whale Shark Project Foundation has been working to protect whale sharks in Madagascar since 2016, and relies on scientific information through a research programme to raise awareness among local communities, tourism stakeholders and the general public. Through our work, we are collaborating in the institution of regulations for the protection of the species at a national level.
