I have to admit that I’m not a scientist. Apparently I know even less than I previously assumed. Who know what whale sharks are “whales”? And the secret location? Is it Isla Mujeres? We wouldn’t want them to start a whale shark watching industry there. Or maybe it’s Baja California? Same thing, I hope nobody starts whale shark watching there.
So what was this research that the local marine biologists needed his expert help with anyway? “I was helping out a team of marine biologists conduct a survey on whale shark population estimates, to identify returning sharks year on year and to see growth rates of individuals.” No wonder he needed to ride those sharks! I mean, how else could you measure a shark than by riding it. The watch you see on his wrist must be a super secret measuring device!
Anyway, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find any other references to anything remotely research related in the article here.
I did however find the real reason for Galante’s antics. On his facebook page he writes
“Hey I’m back in the #news!
Thanks Caters News Agency and Daily Mail for another fun interview and thank you to the team of hard working #biologists who are helping save these magnificent creatures! so proud to have been a part of it!
Here’s a paper showing that touching sharks is hugely associated with stress: http://www.butandingnetwork.net/…/2014/05/2007-Quiros.pdf

As shark diving operators we have to be aware of our actions and how they are depicted in the media. Every time something goes wrong, or someone get’s a sensationalistic video of a shark dive, the shark gets portrayed as a bloodthirsty manhunter!Take t…
When it comes to how the media covers any sightings of a great white shark, it never ceases to amaze me how their articles are devoid of any real facts and full of disinformation. Take this latest coverage by the Inquisitr of a sighting in lake Macquarie. You really have to wonder who these experts are, that they refer to in this article.
They are saying “A 9-foot-long great white shark has been spotted in Australia’s Lake Macquarie, close to the scene of another recent sighting, along with a smaller, unidentified fish that some researchers believe could be the shark’s offspring”.
