Today is International Whale Shark Day!
Don’t let their name fool you! Despite their enormous size, whale sharks are actually a harmless filter-feeding species of shark. About the size of a school bus with a mouth that’s a meter wide, whale sharks eat by straining small organisms like plankton, schooling fish, and squid from the water.
In addition to finding microplastic in their gills and all types of marine debris in their stomachs, researchers have also learned that exposure to the toxins absorbed by ocean plastic can alter their hormones and lead to a variety of health and reproductive issues.
We’re excited to announce that our iconic orange and cream Whale Shark bracelet is now available in our braided style.
