Whale Shark México is a research project dedicated to the conservation, education, and sustainable management of the charismatic whale shark. We are proud to lead a continuous monitoring program on the distribution and abundance of the species in the Gulf of California, one of the few places in the world where whale sharks can be found as both juveniles and adult females.
All the data we collect contributes to whale shark conservation and management in the region. More than 10 years of monitoring have been key to establishing La Paz Bay as a critical habitat for species that requires protection.
Misión: Our mission is to facilitate conservation through research, environmental education and sustainable management of the species.
Visión: Become a leading force in the protection of whale sharks and their ecosystems, inspiring global awareness and action through science, education, and collaboration. We strive for a future where marine species and coastal communities coexist in harmony, ensuring healthy oceans for generations to come.
