  • Expedition Shark #4: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park - LAMAVE
    Expedition Shark #4 Expedition Shark #4: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park - LAMAVE Introduction Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is one of the last refuges for sharks remaining on the planet. It provides protection to critically endangered species, serves as a sanctuary where a variety of species thrives, and redistributes life into the surrounding waters. This rare beacon of hope in Southeast Asia represents an oceanic oasis at the heart of an overexploited, overfished desert. It is a vestige of what the oceans once were, and a brilliant model for what they should be again. Despite all of this, we know very little about the sharks that call this unique UNESCO World Heritage Site home, and a research expedition is desperately needed to unlock its potential. Our team, which includes an intrepid researcher spending four months at the ranger station on this remote atoll, will conduct the first comprehensive shark survey within Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park. Our expedition will explore the secrets behind the stunning biodiversity of this reef, revealing the key to repopulating the sharks of the Coral Triangle and uncovering information that can help keep our oceans alive. Is Tubbataha home to Asia's most productive tiger shark nurseries? Where do the whale sharks that frequent this reef travel, and are they venturing into the dangerous waters of the South China Sea to reproduce? This expedition represents an unprecedented effort to understand these animals so we can work for their protection. Join us now and be a part of the solution. Photo ©Simon Pierce | MMF 1 Expedition Shark #4: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park - LAMAVE What is Expedition Shark #4? On May 22nd 2018, a team of the world's top shark scientists will travel to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park to conduct a groundbreaking assessment of sharks and rays within the park during a 12-day expedition.
