Shark Slaying is uncool!

Keta and "The Tuck and Roll" are involved in the study and preservation of sharks. We assist with the development of alternative projects for former hunters displaced by the Philippine legislative ban on the hunting of whale sharks and manta rays. We donate footage and information regarding all shark sightings. And we work with educators, and like minded people developing collective groups which also contribute to research.

Filming wildlife submerges photographers and divers in the habitat of their subjects. Back in the day, underwater filmmaking used large, awkward and heavy equipment that often required a few people to operate. A roll of film only lasted a few minutes depending on the size and speed of the camera.
 

Today life can be captured with much less effort and expense making it accessible for many to enter the world of filmmaking. This in turn has made filmmakers and photographers valuable to the study of wildlife. Often their footage and observations are extensive. Keta donates all footage to research.
 

Eco-tourism for the former hunters escorts tourists to observe whale sharks, instead of killing them. Alternative fishing methods, such as fish traps and seaweed cultivation now support their families and they have built a whale shark museum in Talaysan, Philippines.Their efforts provide further scientific research and teach preservation to the public. Help scientist learn about sharks migration, shark numbers, growth and life expectancy.

Adopt a whale shark and track its migration. Through satellite telemetry, you will learn along with the scientists studying the world's largest vegetarian. Great for schools and dive shops.
