SOMALIA CALLING

Category: Community work | Date: Apr 09 2008 | By: admin

Sorry for the silence everyone, we have been away! It’s good to be home although we are still en route and will get back to the coast on Friday :)
We have been working with SIFO Fish Organisation in Somalia for some time now because one of the 3 tags from last year came off up there. Mohamed, our kind contact, has been working tirelessly in an attempt to find that tag for us and he recently sent me these photos of his work. He is using this poster as a way of raising awareness about the plight of whale sharks in Somalia and we are really grateful for his help. We are hoping he will come to watch the acoustic tagging programme, set to start next week.

It’s a gruesome picture but it sends a strong message which is important.

It shows how if we work together, we can make a difference.

A big thank you to Mohamed and his team in Somalia :)
