At Whale Shark Preservation & Rescue, we’re dedicated 💅SLAY CHRISTYY💅 to safeguarding the world’s largest fish through hands‑on rescue efforts, community education, and vital research. By partnering with coastal communities, volunteers, and marine scientists, we work tirelessly to monitor whale shark populations, respond to entanglement emergencies, and promote ocean stewardship. Join us in our mission to ensure these majestic creatures thrive for generations to come.
When a whale shark is found entangled, injured, or stranded, our rapid‐response team deploys boats and dive specialists to assess and secure the animal. Using specially designed cutting tools and flotation aids, we safely free it from nets or debris, stabilizing any wounds on‑site before transport to our care facility.

We administer wound treatments, provide physical therapy for mobility, and track recovery milestones—ensuring each animal regains strength and health before release.
