Fishermen and Friends of the Sea (FFOS) is calling for urgent action and an investigation after a whale shark was found dead near the shore in Chaguaramas on Tuesday.

The animal was first spotted alive but visibly injured on Saturday, near Peake’s Mariner, Chaguaramas.

A video circulating on social media showed curious onlookers videotaping the fish, which later swam out into deeper waters.
