Bumble The Whaleshark
Category: News | Date: Feb 23 2009 | By: whalesharks
The whale shark adopted and sponsored by Peter and Philipa Gibbon is to be called Bumble. Many thanks again Peter and Philipa for your kind support! Bumble is Kenya’s first shark to be tagged with an acoustic tag.
Yesterday we didn’t see any sharks and I am just leaving now to see off the expedition of 20 Swedish students. We have to take 60 litres of petrol to the pilot and then organise and brief the expedition members down at Aqualand. It’s going to be a busy day.
Will keep you posted.
