Maldives: Year 14

Update from our Maldives coral reef and whale shark expedition

Our 14th Maldives coral reef and whale shark expedition is about to start in a few days. I am Dr. Matthias Hammer, your expedition leader and founder & executive director of Biosphere Expeditions, and I look forward to meeting you all in Male’ soon.

Our expeditions scientists is Dr. Jean-Luc Solandt of the Blue Marine Foundation. Together we have run this expedition for longer than we both care to admit. In fact, we are practically married (and since we are both old, grumpy, single farts, who knows what bells will be tolling on board ;).

We’ll be 24 hours ahead of you to set up and get our beautiful liveaboard yacht and research base ready for you.

You can see our itinerary here and I hope you have all swotted up on the Reef Check methodology. The more effort you put in now, the easier it will be during the intense knowledge dump that will happen during the first couple of days. Don’t forget either that you must complete the online immigration form prior to departing for the Maldives.

Anyway, we’ll see you at the airport assembly point soon.

Matthias
Expedition leader
