Established in 1997, WSORC is the only organization in Honduras with a research permit to study these gentle giants. Utila, where WSORC is based, is a year-round hotspot for whale shark sightings. However, little is known about their life cycle and why they visit this area in such large numbers. WSORC's mission is to gather vital data on whale sharks and their environment to uncover these mysteries. WSORC offers various programs to achieve its goals. Their research focuses on collecting data on whale shark individuals, oceanic conditions, and coral reefs to gain a better understanding of their dynamics. The organization also emphasizes outreach efforts, promoting responsible whale shark tourism, raising awareness of conservation issues, and educating local school children about the sea. WSORC invites volunteers to join their internships, providing them with the necessary skills to pursue careers in marine conservation. Additionally, they offer ecotourism expeditions, which educate participants about the marine environment while actively contributing to conservation efforts. As an NGO, WSORC relies on the support of sponsors and donations to continue their vital work. They welcome contributions towards their research and education programs, and sponsors are recognized in WSORC's newsletter and on their website. If you're passionate about marine conservation, WSORC provides an opportunity to be part of the global solution.
