[20.1.2008] Dear Visitor - This school research project with a focus on whale shark research and particularly "the voyage of Schroeder" went into a "pending status" since 2006! Our original project server at school (HP 800) has finally given up (went up in smoke in Dec. 2006)! Most of the original "Seeadlerpost CMS Content" has been transferred to a public server in Switzerland (sponsored by Touchpoints GmbH - Thanks Guys!). Some of the website´s code (such as translations of a lot of articles and the Walhai-Wiki) could not be recovered - additional data under develpoment, located on other school resources tragically disappeared. Finally, all SAP team students graduated in 2007 and had left the school (GESS).
The SAP web portal will continue to stay online and, hopefully, will provide a starting point for new emerging school research projects in 2008 (DHPS-Namibia-Africa).
In the meantime, we are trying to restructure and occasionally update the content. For the best browsing experinence, please switch to the GERMAN interface and excuse missing media data and translations in English (and Frensh anyway).
Thank You - Your SAP Team 2004-2008 |

[13.9.2006] More than a year ahead of time
An article in the "Mercury News" from today made it obvious again: "We were a year ahead in regards to the development for "creative" applications for Google Earth"! Here is the link:
Follow a shark, or a park trail, with new Google Earth features.
Unfortunately, we are no longer participating in this sportive challenge to find even better ways to use and enhance this great product. It is like in real life and can happen even in a school environment ... esp. within German organisations we seem to have a strong tendency to block ourselves with methodical perfection compared to other countries. [Update 14.9.2006] Google Earth has announced a new version today ... and our project "die Seeadler Post" is listed as a reference project for "time stamped pictures" along with applications from a few professional organisations !
Seeadlerpost refernence at Google Earth (Beta4 Announcement)
For a political status on the world map it is - of course - more important to send warships to troubled locations instead of spying on a lonely shark just swimming around somewhere in the big ocean!
Education and in general educational work is getting a bitter flavour here. What do you think would our hero in the background, Graf von Luckner, the last german and all humanistic pirate, sailing with his ship Seeadler 1917 in the South Pacific, would have had to say about all the developments in this "modern" world? Despite all the excitements to take part in big adventures around the world ... he, most likely, would have voted in favour of more peaceful German demonstrations of excellent scientific and educationional results over obviously very unstructured, simply politically motivated action of the Bundesmarine - most likely - IL

 The GESS did present its own poster during the conference in Perth - Australia
Our Project has reached a new milestone !
What does a school has to offer on such an international conference for scientists, conservationists and politicians ? Well, at first we were able to learn ... and learn again ... listening to uncounted tasks and disscussions representing all the information out of ongoing research over the last years ! Andre is currently working on a condensed version of results for our WhaleSharkWiki ...
What we had in mind with our poster presentation did aim towords a slightly bigger target ! We wanted to create more awareness within the scientific community that education could be seen as an additional source of support for scientific research work. How this can be achieved ... and what the poster actually did look like ... well, you might find some more explanations in one of our next articles here soon ... (to be continued - IL)

[4.2.2006] Shiraz is on its way
We promised this story already some time ago ... a new tracking experiment and voyage of a whale shark. Shiraz, a young 3.5-4 meter whale shark, is now cruising around in the Gulf of Tadjoura and his track can be followed closely online visiting Seaturtle.org. The French nature conservation society Megaptera did launch this new experiment, inspired by the `Voyage of Schroeder 2005`. Here is the official organisation statement:
SHIRAZ was tagged as a part of the on-going whale shark monitoring programme run by the Marine Conservation Society, Djibouti. This programme aims to research the regular occurence of juvenile whale sharks found in the Gulf of Tadjoura, to protect their habitat and to ensure that the sharks are not impacted by over-keen visitors anxious to swim with them. The MCSD has already held several workshops locally to sensitise the local population about whale sharks and the need for caution and to drive boats at slow speeds in the area where they are found; they have also developed an encounter code in conjunction with local tour operators to minimise the impact of eco-tourism on the shark`s behaviour.
MCSD und MCSS (Marine Conservation Society Seychelles) are working joinedly together now to monitor the sharks in the region. We will update you and publish news from this new shark voyage here from time to time. Unfortunately, the coming changes in the SAP project setup and the local development at the school (GESS) in Singapore will prevent us from publishing daily updates in a GE (Google Earth) map style - another sad story, but more about this issue at the end of the month - IL
