BNI Chapter Sponsors Gentle Giant

Our Thousand Oaks BNI chapter has sponsored their very own tag that was placed on a 11m long whale shark in the Galapagos last month!! (see article in our newsletter below). This is a great example of the wonderful things BNI groups can do!

 

 

 

Female Whale Shark Tagged In The Galapagos To Be Named By BNI Sponsor

whaleshark2On October 28, 2007 a team led by James T. Ketchum, Alex Hearn, and A. Peter Klimley set sail to Darwin and Wolf Islands, part of the Galapagos archipelago, to tag whale sharks. The following day, the group succeeded in tagging a female whale shark with a signature tag. The shark was 11 meters long with a noticeably large pelvic area - a possible indicator of pregnancy.

This gentle giant now waits to be named by her new sponsor, the Thousand Oaks Chapter of Business Network International (BNI). BNI is a business networking organization offering members the opportunity to shark ideas, contacts and business referrals.

The Thousand Oaks BNI chapter generously donated $1500 to support shark research and conservation, and will have the unique opportunity to name their shark.  Thank you BNI for your remarkable donation and firm commitment to the protection of our oceans. We cannot do this without you.
