If you have photos of a whale shark, you can help! All you have to do is to send a copy to sharktrust.org or Project-A.W.A.R.E, and quote the place and date you took the picture.
Scientist are going to match the dot pattern with other photos from their database to identify the shark. The dot pattern on the whale shark is unique as a human fingerprint The more submissions are forwarded to scientists, the more precise the estimation of the migration routes is going to be.

The fact that we don’t know where they are all the time may be the only thing that keeps the species alive. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” ><o:p></o:p></SPAN>
