Whale shark at the surface
Whale shark surfaces with its mouth open expecting to be fed by the fisherman standing on the fishing platform. There are thought to be about 30-40 resident whale sharks in the Cenderawasih Bay area that feed by sucking on the fishing nets hanging below these floating fishing platforms, called bagans in the local language. The whales extract plankton, tiny fish and other nutrients by sucking on the fishing nets. They also make a nuisance of themselves, often demanding to be fed by the fishermen, who sometimes feed them in the hope they will go away

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable encounter between a majestic whale shark and a fisherman in the Cenderawasih Bay area. As the massive creature surfaces with its mouth wide open, it eagerly anticipates being fed by the fisherman standing on the floating fishing platform known as a bagan. In this region, an estimated 30-40 resident whale sharks have developed a unique feeding behavior - they suck on the fishing nets suspended beneath these platforms to extract plankton, tiny fish, and other nutrients. While these gentle giants provide an awe-inspiring spectacle for both locals and visitors alike, they can also be quite demanding. Often seen pestering fishermen for food, some of them oblige in hopes that their generosity will encourage the whale sharks to move along. This intriguing interaction highlights not only the intelligence of these magnificent creatures but also their ability to adapt their feeding habits to exploit new resources. The photographer behind this stunning image has skillfully captured this moment of connection between man and nature. With every detail vividly portrayed, viewers are transported into this underwater world where humans coexist with one of Earth's largest marine species. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these incredible creatures and their fragile ecosystems for future generations to admire and cherish.
