International Whale Shark Day is celebrated on August 30
International Whale Shark Day is celebrated on August 30 to raise awareness about the importance of conserving this species and its marine ecosystem. The whale shark, being the largest fish in the world, plays a fundamental role in the balance of the oceans as a top predator. During this day, various educational activities, awareness campaigns and conservation projects are carried out by environmental organizations and marine life defenders. It's an opportunity to highlight the threats whale sharks face, such as illegal fishing and habitat degradation, and promote action to protect them. By raising awareness of these issues, we can work together to ensure the survival of these magnificent animals and the health of marine ecosystems.
