In August this Year a group of young students from the German Europen School Singapore tagged a whale shark with an sattelite-tag, where the data now being published in the web trough a google earth KML-file. This 7 meter long male Shark, named "Schroeder" now is on it's way from the Seychelles to - maybe - Somalia (Afrika). During the last few weeks you could see a move of over 700 KM ....
The KML File is updated via a Database and PHP script every time the sattelite carrier sends new data - about once a day.
You can download the KML file here (http://www.seeadlerpost.com/geocache/whaleshark.kmz)
For more information please visit the project website (http://www.seeadlerpost.com)!
