    This sounds like ahe, cenderewasih in west papua. I dont think I support local feeding of whale sharks. And its nicer to see them in a wild unpredictable encounter not predictably domesticated and conditioned to 'show up' just for our benefit.

    I heard there are now 30 - 40 fisherman, and over 1000 people a day showing up !

    The local government wants to build a viewing deck.

    If you want to see sardines go to S2 Dive Club in Lapu Lapu, Cebu. They're a right out back and you don't need a boat! I've been shooting video of them the last couple days.

    This is why I said I do not support Whale Shark feeding and tourism such as this. Something around the corner would just bite what hapening in the rear, like this incident. I just hope this doesnt happen in Ahe, West Papua. Whale SHarks should be left in the wild where they are free and not be fed like pets. They are not show ponies like they have made Killer Whales to be in Sea World.
