Whale sharks are gentle giants of the sea. These slow moving creatures feed on tiny plankton and are the largest fish in our oceans. According to Save Our Seas, microplastics* have emerged as one of the major environmental threats to the whale shark.
Additionally, Chlorine disinfectants are harmful to aquatic life. These chemicals can get into sewage systems and pollute drinking water resources Both the direct runoff and indirect sewage effluents will eventually end up in lakes and rivers, putting aquatic ecosystems at risk.
By reducing our plastic footprint and being more conscious of how disinfectants can be toxic, we can make an impact on our environment and by extension, help the whale shark.
