Fuvahmulah Tiger Shark Database
The Tiger Shark ID Project was the first shark research project implemented in Fuvahmulah and was established by Fuvahmulah Dive School (FDS). It provided the foundation for subsequent tiger shark research on the island and has evolved into a long-term shark monitoring programme.
The database was launched in June 2017, with the identification of the first tiger shark marking the beginning of a daily monitoring effort. During its first three years as a pilot study, the database grew to 100 individually identified sharks, providing the basis for the project to gain formal recognition.
Since 2021, the project has operated under official government research permission, with monitoring conducted daily. From 2017 to 2026, data were collected exclusively by FDS, before additional diving centres began contributing to the programme. Today, four Fuvahmulah-based diving centres contribute to the daily dataset.
The database now contains 325 individually identified tiger sharks, the majority of which are females, with many documented as pregnant. Over the past ten years, more than 100 people have contributed to the project, which has generated numerous research questions and initiatives that are now being developed by our team.
