October
proved to be ‘Whale Shark Month’ for North and West
Mahe as the sharks started to appear around the Northwest
area in reasonable numbers. This proved not only an ideal
time to monitor and tag the sharks but also a much needed
opportunity to increase their public profile by getting
members of the public in the water to see these
magnificent animals.
Although
the monitoring trips were not advertised MCSS was soon
in-undated with people wishing to support the programme and
participate in monitoring activities.
