The world’s largest fish, the whale shark, is currently listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Animals. In an attempt to develop a risk assessment for this species to aid in conservation efforts, researchers from The University of southern Mississippi-Center for Fisheries Research and Development, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Blue World Research Institute (BWRI) are collaborating on a two-year study. During this study whale sharks in the Gulf will be tagged to gather telemetry and behavioral information to increase knowledge about the species and to help inform BOEM’s decision making for offshore energy development.
