Donate today and help us preserve whale sharks for generations to come. Every donation, however big or small, ultimately enables us to conserve and protect these enigmatic gentle giants in the Maldives and the Greater Indian Ocean.

Join us on board and aid whale shark research and conservation by helping us to collect baseline data on these gentle giants and their marine environment.

In addition to our expeditions, we also offer a limited number of internships annually. These are advertised on our website and social media channels when they arise, and specify whether the position is open to local or international candidates.

Since 2010 the MWSRP has invited schools and groups of young people to join our research operation on the beautiful island of Dhigurah. Groups join for a week or two weeks and we can cater for university or high school level (age 12+).
