Galapagos Conservation Trust The whale shark is the world’s largest fish, yet surprisingly little is known about it. We are still to discover where they go to breed, give birth and spend the first few years of their life. These basic life history elements are not only interesting to know but also important if we are to successfully conserve this gentle giant. This ground-breaking research project in Galapagos hopes to deliver some of these crucial insights into their lives. Read news and updates about the project here:
