Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles in 16 days

Every single destination of this expedition would have been worth a trip of its own, but it was the sum of the destinations one after another that made it so special. Whale sharks, day geckos & chameleons, Mauritius anyway and the dream islands of the Seychelles. For us aquarium and terrarium friends, these are very special destinations.

    With the whale sharks in the north of Madagascar

    On TV everyone has probably seen the biggest fish of our seas, but swimming live next to a whale shark is something very special. But how do you find the peaceful giants in the open sea?

    At a marine fish exporter’s and the most expensive fish in Mauritius

    If you miss seeing a really rare fish species in the sea, you can catch up at a fish exporter. Just because a fish species is endemic to an area, it doesn’t mean you’ll get to see in its habitat!

    The Seychelles - above water a paradise, under water a bit nondescript

    Above water the Seychelles are an absolute paradise. But the same can’t be said for under water. Are the Seychelles worth doing aquaristic research in?

    Underwater feeding on what is probably the most beautiful island in the world

    The small island of La Digue became world famous through the Bacardi advertising. The tourists were flabbergasted when we fed the fish in the shallow water. Would the reef dwellers eat our aquarium fish food?

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
