Whale Shark, Marina Mall, Kuwait
A young, female Whale Shark is trapped in the Marina in Kuwait since yesterday (Wiki).
The Kuwait Diving team has tried to get her out in the ocean again, but she seems to have ‘lost’ her sonar due to the brick walls and the boats.

The boats are moored for now, nobody has permission to move the boats around and the entrance to where she swims is blocked, so nobody accidentally drives in there.

On Sunday a rescue team will somehow try to lift her out and set her free again, equipment etc. is on it’s way.
Until then, she has to endure the small harbor, people looking at her, but worst of all, people throwing plastic bottles, one moron a bike and another a** a Harpoon at her. The harpoon thrower worked somewhere in the Marina and got instantly fired. Thanks for that!

I hope she’ll be fine until Sunday and that she will get enough food.

Update May 15th: As far as my information goes, she got out today by herself. One of the reasons she was ‘trapped’ in the marina was to try to raise money for a tag. Tagging is a way to try to figure out the movement of these rare specimen. I don’t know if they succeeded to raise the funds and to tag her. Maybe I will know more later.
If you ever get to see a Shark in the Arabian waters, please kindly report it to Sharkwatch Arabia !
