RESEARCH

Since 2001, Whale Shark Mexico has been dedicated to studying and protecting whale sharks in the Gulf of California. What began with a few curious encounters has grown into one of the most extensive long-term research projects on this species in Mexico.

Our team works in La Paz Bay, Concepción Bay, Mag Bay, the Revillagigedo Archipelago, and beyond. Through collaborations with universities and conservation groups, we share knowledge and strengthen efforts to protect these migratory giants. Today, our catalog includes more than 1,135 individually identified whale sharks – each one with its own story.
