Hawai‘i Uncharted Research Collective is a 501c3 non-profit organization conducting scientific research on whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in the state of Hawai'i. Based in the town of Kona, our team is thrilled to begin this journey with the community. The mission at Hawai'i Uncharted Research Collective is to conduct scientific research on Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus) in Hawaiian waters. Our research focuses on population dynamics, movement, ecology, and human impacts. Findings from this research will be used to support local and global efforts to conserve Whale Sharks and their environment. Our vision is to merge community engagement and scientific research, pairing citizen science and education with scientific research and technology to learn more about this relatively unknown species in Hawaiian waters. This research will increase awareness and knowledge about Whale Sharks to implement strong conservation-minded initiatives in Hawai'i and globally.
