Pet Suggestion-Get a Whale Shark

Is your dog yapping all night long and the neighbours starting to talk about taking it for a long walk off a short pier? Or has all that cat hair in your apartment caused your friends to stop dropping by for visits and giving you lint brushes for gifts? Here is a simple solution. Get a whale shark!

These gentle giants of the ocean are available for adoption at Ecocean. For a fee of $50 AUS you can adopt the whale shark of your choice from a photo library of over 500 whale sharks. Here are the benefits you receive upon adoption:

• A photo of your shark
• A colour adoption certificate
• A public awareness brochure introducing our work on whale shark and marine conservation
• The new ‘JOIN THE DOTS, HELP SOLVE THE MYSTERY’ bumper sticker (hard copy)
• During the course of the year’s adoption, you will then also receive:
• Two bi-annual issues of the ECOCEAN newsletter (e-version) featuring up-to-date whale shark news, and information about other activities undertaken by ECOCEAN
• Automatic email updates on ‘your’ shark, every time it is resighted

Seems like a fun way to learn more about these fascinating animals and to help preserve them at the same time. Click here for the adoption page.
