When tourist boats allowed, one or two researchers would also join tourist boat.
This approach allowed researchers collect data and at the same time educate the tourist and raise awareness about the richness and fragility of the marine environment. Spotters, are certified members of the KASAKA group who using single paddle boats search for whale sharks visually, by looking for shadows or dark silhouettes just below the surface, exposed dorsal fins, or the presence of whale sharks below the boat, established by dunking their heads in the water and searching with the aid of a mask.

KASAKA tour guides are also required to join every boat participating in the whale shark interaction. They are responsible for briefing guests with the interaction guidelines and safety procedures stated in the Municipal Tourism Ordinance NO.

The KASAKA group have directly contributed to the research, in an effort to both capacity building and raising awareness and social responsibility. The operational capacity of most vessels was people, which included a boat captain, crew and dive masters. Briefings given by KASAKA tour guides, are given aboard the vessel and guests are specifically told that touching the shark, the use of flash photography and scuba is strictly prohibited.
Guests were also told to stay at least 3 meters from the head and body of the shark and 4 meters or more from the tail and to keep splashing to a minimum. You are commenting using your WordPress.
