Adopt a whale shark

Adopt a whale shark today and you’ll be supporting vital whale shark conservation and research in Mexico.

Throughout our adopt a whale shark program, you can symbolically sponsor a whale shark for yourself, for anyone you love or together as a group. This will help as continuing our conservation efforts in Mexico.

There are three options when it comes to adopting a whale shark!

  1. Adoption only (50 USD): you or the person you would like to adopt a whale shark have the choice of one of the whale sharks that have been named by our team. You will receive a certificate of adoption and our annual newsletter to keep you updated.
  2. Adoption and naming (100 USD): you get to name a whale shark that has been recently identified in La Paz Bay, becoming the adoptive parent of this little giant! You will receive a certificate of adoption and our annual newsletter to keep you updated.
  3. Adoption, naming and tagging a whale shark! (3500 USD): you get to name a whale shark that has been recently identified in La Paz Bay, but we will also purchase a satellite tag for your adoptive whale shark. That means you will not just become the adoptive parent of this little giant, but you will have the privilege of knowing where your shark is going for several months! You will receive a certificate of adoption and our annual newsletter to keep you updated.
