Since we are celebrating International Whale Shark Day later this month on August 30, we’re shining a spotlight on one of the ocean’s most incredible creatures!

Did you know that every whale shark has its own unique pattern of spots? Much like a human fingerprint, no two whale sharks have the same markings! Scientists use these one-of-a-kind spot patterns to identify, track, and learn more about individual whale sharks around the world.
These gentle giants are also incredible travelers! Whale sharks can migrate thousands of miles across the ocean in search of food, warmer waters, and areas where they can reproduce.

The more we learn about whale sharks, the more we understand how important it is to protect them and the oceans they call home.

Moments like these remind us why protecting our oceans matters. Every whale deserves a safe, healthy home.

What goes up often ends up in the ocean, where marine animals pay the price. Sea turtles and other creatures mistake deflated balloons and floating plastic for jellyfish. One bite can be fatal. Balloon strings can entangle marine life and birds, leading to injury or death.

Instead of releasing balloons, choose earth-friendly ways to celebrate:
Plant a tree or flowers
Blow bubbles
Fly a kite

Let’s protect the creatures who can’t tell the difference between food and plastic. Become a balloon alert ambassador: https://savethewhales.org/balloon-ambassador/

World Whale and Dolphin Day - July 23rd

Happy World Whale and Dolphin Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible whales and dolphins that call our oceans home and recognize our shared responsibility to protect them. These intelligent, social, and awe-inspiring animals play a vital role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems, yet many species continue to face threats from pollution, entanglement, ship strikes, warming ocean temperatures, habitat loss, and noise pollution.
Every action, no matter how small, can help create a safer future for these magnificent marine mammals. Together, we can ensure that future generations experience the wonder of whales and dolphins thriving in our oceans. https://savethewhales.org/10-ways-you-can-help-marine-life-every-day/

Did you know? There are 6,000 species of coral around the world!
Corals may look like colorful underwater plants, but they're actually living animals that provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for marine species. Coral reefs are known as “the rainforests of the sea” and support 25% of the ocean’s fish. Healthy reefs protect coastlines from storms and erosion, and support millions of people through fisheries and tourism.
Unfortunately, coral reefs are under threat from warming ocean temperatures, pollution, and destructive human activities. Even if you live far away from coral reefs, you can help by reducing urban runoff pollution, supporting sustainable seafood practices, and not touching coral when diving or snorkeling. You can help these incredible ecosystems thrive for generations to come. 10 ways to protect coral reefs: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/thingsyoucando.html

Every reef matters.

Shark Awareness Day - July 14th

Sharks need our protection, not our fear.

Today on Shark Awareness Day, we celebrate these incredible ocean animals to raise awareness about the critical role they play in the marine environment and the challenges they face. Scientists call sharks “living fossils” as they have been on earth for 450 million years. They keep marine ecosystems healthy by preying on injured or sick marine animals which regulates fish populations and prevents overgrazing of coral reefs.

Many shark species are endangered due to habitat destruction, overfishing, bycatch, warming ocean temperatures, and being hunted for their meat, skin and fins. Because they grow slowly, and produce few offspring, their populations struggle to recover.

Healthy shark populations mean healthy oceans, and healthy oceans benefit us all. Let's work together to protect these misunderstood animals for generations to come.
