It’s is Whale Shark Awareness Day 💙🐋🦈 The largest shark in the world, the whale shark, this beautiful gentle filter feeder is sadly an endangered species. It is targeted for the shark fin trade because of its large shark fin size. It also dies from plastic ingestion, boat strike, and entanglement. Keep an eye out for this incredible species by being a conscious consumer limiting debris, picking up debris, keeping a sharp eye out on the water, and especially realizing that if you choose to consume seafood, make sure its not caught by industrial fishing methods because nets and longline fishing methods kills 7-9 sharks for every one fish they catch. #oneocean #nationalwhalesharkday #whalesharkday #oceanconservation #marineconservation #whaleshark #stopsharkfinning NO#sharkfinsoup
