Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world and can grow up to 45 ft in length. This gentle giant was once brutally hunted off the Gujarat coast on western India. The widely-acclaimed WTI campaign "Save the Whale Shark" changed the perception and attitude of local people converting fishermen into protectors of the fish. These fishermen are now setting free whale sharks getting accidentally entangled their fishing nets by actually cutting open the meshes thus destroying the valuable net.
