We are so excited! Expedition 2008 is on the Kenya Tourism Board website www.magicalkenya.com This is HUGE for us and we really grateful for the support we have received from the KTB in publicising our project. We think that Expedition 2008 couldn’t have come at a better time for tourism in Kenya. We have had so much support from so many people as we have prepared for Expedition 2008. The local business community have really stood behind us and helped out with various services. My inbox is flooded with mails from people wanting to come and participate and phone doesn’t stop ringing. Our little office (such as it is in a corner of my living room) is swamped. And we are loving it! It shows that people care about whale sharks, that they are interested and excited about our work, that they feel it is worth supporting. All we are hoping to do, in inviting the public to participate (at a fee), is to cover our costs which are extremely high because of boat and plane fuel costs. We feel that it is important for the public to get a chance to see the researchers working. It is a once in a life time opportunity! Our banner is up along Diani beach road and our posters are everywhere (thanks to the Colobus Trust www.colobustrust.org for helping us put them up). Everyone in Kenya is talking about whale sharks!
