Nombre tu Propio Tiburón
The next time we tag a shark you can name it! Imagine naming a shark for yourself or someone you love. A perfect gift and a thoughtful way of showing you care. With our GPS technology you’ll be able to follow your shark through your cell phone. The tagging & naming process happens only during our planned expeditions, which depend on weather and fishery ban schedules. Your adoption will depend on the number of sharks we sight and manage to tag seasonally. However, we can usually find and tag your shark within 4 to 8 weeks.

Con tu adopción de tiburón estás apoyando la investigación Saving Our Sharks A.C. en el caribe mexicano. Las actividades de investigación incluyen expediciones de seguimiento, vigilancia y marcaje de tiburones realizadas por investigadores locales en colaboración con INAPESCA y los Maestros de los Mares – la Cooperativa Kab Xok – que han dejado de pescar tiburones cambiando sus medios de vida para centrarse en la conservación de tiburones y actividades de ecoturismo para guiar a los visitantes a experiencias de buceo con tiburones.
