Impressive, heart-warming video footage of fishermen rescuing three whale sharks trapped in a net has gone viral since yesterday (June 28).

 

The story and video were carried by a Facebook page called “ReReef” that is dedicated to empowering people to rejuvenate the country’s marine ecosystem.

 

On seeing the three sharks trapped in a fishing net seven nautical miles from the east coast of Krabi’s Koh Rok Island, a crew from the Chokprapaporn ship dived in for the rescue.

 

The crew said whale sharks have been visiting the area more often lately. The animals are on the list of endangered marine species.

What happened to the whale shark that had the rope caught round it's tail that was in the news a little while ago ?

 

Did someone manage to free it?

Cudos to those men. 

Thank you for good work

Yes good result for all involved .  Without freeing the whale sharks they would have lost their nets and the consequences would have been a tragedy on all levels.  So Kudos to the crew!
