Whale sharks are large harmless members of the shark family which regularly
visit the area near Ningaloo reef. They are the world’s largest living fish
growing to over 30 feet in length on a diet of plankton.
Ningaloo is one of the best places to see
whale sharks and is very popular with scuba divers.
They are protected in W.A. by law but they are being killed
off by Indonesian fishermen and may be wiped out if international pressure isn't
brought to bear to stop the killing.
