Whale Shark Conservation Programme
The scheme aims to protect the endangered Whale Shark, the world's largest fish, along the Gujarat coast, a crucial breeding site. It mitigates threats from fishing by providing compensation for damaged nets and cultivates a strong conservation ethic among local fishermen and the broader public.
