Oslob, located in Cebu, is renowned for its whale shark-watching tours, which have become a major attraction for both local and international tourists. Whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea, are known for their docile nature and can grow up to 40 feet long. These gentle giants feed primarily on plankton and small fish, making them harmless to humans. The practice of whale shark watching in Oslob began in the early 2010s and has since provided significant economic benefits to the local community. However, it has also raised concerns about the impact on whale shark behavior and health due to close human interaction. Conservationists advocate for sustainable tourism practices to ensure the protection of these magnificent creatures while allowing people to experience their presence in a responsible manner.
