I wrote a while ago about wanting to visit the town of Donsol in the Philippines, which has become famous in the last 10 years due to the annual migration of whale sharks there every April. South Africa’s Mail & Guardian Online has an excellent article about how the whale sharks have changed the fortunes of the town by bringing thousands of tourists to the area who want to see these amazing creatures – and also preserved the lives of the sharks themselves as fisherman realised they have more value alive as a tourist attraction.

However, the town’s new found prosperity brings growing pains with it
