EN ESPAGNOL!!

We are finally home after the 2nd International Whale Shark Conference. It was a wonderful event. We all learnt a great deal and have committed to continued global efforts towards whale shark conservation.
Our internet connection is really poor at the moment so I can’t upload all the pictures as I promised from the Georgia Aquarium. I promise I will as soon as I can.
In the meantime here is an article from a Mexican newspaper about the conference. If you don’t speak Spanish - as we say here in Kenya “pole sana” (very sorry!!) but neither do I!! I have no idea what it says but there was huge interest in the conference from the local and internation media. We were all left in doubt of the power of the whale shark - it can draw a monster crowd and this must be harnessed to increase interest in marine conservation.
Help us spread the good news!
Have a great weekend!
