Mapping
If you zoom in too quickly, Google Maps may claim that it does not have the needed maps. Zoom back out, wait a few seconds to allow maps to load in the background, and then zoom in again.
If more than one point is mapped for the marked individual, the map also displays chevrons to guide you from the first sighting (shown as a green icon) to each subsequent sighting over time. The chevrons do NOT represent a path of travel, just a sequential link across time.

| "As a diver and marine biology and ecology research graduate, my encounters with whale sharks have been the most outstanding experience of my life. It is such a privilege to observe whale sharks in their natural environment as they grace the oceans with unparalleled beauty and mystery. In supporting ECOCEAN, I hope to help promote the conservation, deepen our understanding and prioritize the sustainability of our relationship with these remarkable creatures for generations of both humans and whale sharks to come." |
