Support that reaches the field.

Since 2019, GSD has supported the Galápagos Whale Shark Project through funding and practical work around expeditions. We state only what the published record supports.

The relationship

Expedition logistics and research support.

About 80% of our company profits go to the Galapagos Whale Shark Project and the Gills Club.

Verified support includes funding for satellite tags and tracking time, contributions to Sharkbook.ai, field logistics around tagging equipment and research vessels, and data analysis.

Precision matters

What we do not claim.

GSD does not present a historical profit statement as a current guarantee. We do not promise that every guest image becomes usable data, that every departure includes tagging, or that any wildlife encounter will happen.
