MWSRP Maldives Whale Shark Presentation

Abstract

It gives us great pleasure to share with you an update to the presentation that we at MWSRP created and use when we conduct lectures on the whale sharks of the Maldives.

Any person or organisation who would like to use this, either for their own interest or to present to their own guests is welcome to. We strongly believe that sharing data, information and materials is the best way to increase exposure for, and share our enjoyment of, this magnificent creature.

Here you will find both an open access PowerPoint presentation complete with guidance notes and background research for the speakers and also some convenient print friendly condensed speakers notes to match the slides.

In sharing this we do assume a few things will be adhered to by anyone who downloads or uses this presentation and request that you honour them. Similarly, we will not be responsible for any ramifications – legal or otherwise – for those using this presentation either as is, or modified. The points we assume are;
