Ghanaian Fishermen Rescue Endangered Whale Shark, Avert Repeat of 2020 Tragedy

Edited by: Olga N

Fishermen in Ghana's Central Region successfully rescued an endangered whale shark, sparking excitement in the local community. The fishermen worked together to guide the massive creature back to the sea.

A video shared on social media shows the collaborative effort to save the whale shark. This positive outcome stands in contrast to a 2020 incident where a humpback whale was killed in the Volta Region.

Whale sharks are the largest known fish species, filter feeders that pose no threat to humans. They inhabit tropical oceans and can live for many decades.
