Here’s a moving 10-minute video clip entitled produced a couple of years ago by Singapore-based Lee Chuen Ling in collaboration with Victor Wu, who was representing WildAid at the time. The video is an elegant look at both the beauty and the plight of whale sharks, a fish that most divers would love to have a chance to see in the water.The video comprises three parts: First — “The Big and the Beautiful” and shows a magical encounter between divers and a curious whale shark at Anambas in Indonesia, followed by “Appetite for Destruction” which focuses attention on our insatiable appetites, and to conclude, a segment that Ling dubbed “Gatekeepers of Our Blue Planet”, which shows people from around the world working together to secure protection for whale sharks and other marine animals.

Everyone at FiNS Magazine voluntarily abstains from consuming shark fin and other shark products. Watch this video, and you’ll understand why.
