A team of three UK environmental experts will be
making a return visit to the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island to continue
their groundbreaking ‘Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme’.
The Not for Profit organisation has established
new whale shark protection guidelines in the country, with the
Maldivian Government providing directions on establishing
community and tourism industry guidelines to protect the
vulnerable species.
During the team’s visit, Conrad Maldives Rangali
Island will once again provide sponsorship and equipment including
a research vessel, dive kit, food, fuel, maintenance and
accommodation to support the team’s efforts as part of their
ongoing commitment to protect the fragile paradise setting of the
resort.
Visitors to Rangali Island between April and
June will also have the opportunity to learn more about the whale
shark population from the team during their regular visits to the
resort as well as the opportunity to join the team on research
trips.
Longer volunteer programmes are also available
to guests who would like to join the team members in various
aspects of the research from photographing, measuring and swimming
with the whale sharks to participation in community workshops and
important database maintenance.
