    Stories like this remind me of that famous line from The Matrix.....

    Left unchecked by people with foresight the majority of humans would rape and pillage until everything was gone.

    It's been a long time goal of mine to make a trip to do the Whale shark dives in the Galapogos Islands.

    Back in the 50's a whale shark picked up a bait on my Grandfathers Charter boat off Palm Beach. He and others fought it for three days before they got it to the surface, where they performed catch and release.
