KILIFI SHARK
Category: Research | Date: Aug 15 2008 | By: whalesharks
Today Simon our resident volunteer has gone up to Kilifi to see if he can track down a tag that came ashore there. He doesn’t have a GPS because we were only borrowing the one we used last time but he is armed nonetheless with pretty accurate maps of the area and locations of the last known coordinates. This is his second attempt to find this tag as he went up to Kilifi at a few days ago but was unsuccessful.
We are wishing him all the best with his search.
Here he is holding the 2 tags we found last time -
