partner & impact

The largest fish in the world, the whale shark, faces many challenges in the ocean. These endangered gentle giants are filter feeders, eating tiny marine organisms like krill and other plankton. Entanglement in fishing nets, boat strikes and ingestion of marine debris and microplastics pose a significant danger to these enormous sharks. Georgia Aquarium is at the forefront of the research and conservation of whale sharks at the Aquarium and in the ocean, building the scientific community’s knowledge of this species. The whale sharks at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta inspire millions of visitors each year to create personal connections with whale sharks. In turn, this furthers the awareness and conservation of whale sharks in the ocean!
