These gentle giants need to be protected more and people need to be aware of how everyone can help protect them. I saw this one at Isla Mujeres in Mexico. Every day I would find (and pick up) some pieces of plastic floating around at the surface, which is exactly where whale sharks feed most of the time. If we all just make a little effort to not use plastic straws and bags, it would already help a great deal!
