An inspiring story that shows how the presence of a marine species can affect the entire economy and the whole society of one of the smallest islands of the Azores, the Island of Santa Maria. It is the only place in Europe where a large number of whale sharks are sighted and in addition their migration is shrouded in mystery, no one knows where they come from, where they are going … and why they appear surrounded by thousands of tunas. It also accompanies the scientific expeditions that for 11 years have tried to unveil the secrets of these giants and to know if their recent presence is linked to global warming and rising water temperatures around the Azores.

Beginning at the fabulous coral reef of Ningaloo in Western Australia, intrepid marine biologist Mark Meakin attempts to unravel the mysterious wanderings of the biggest fish in the sea. Whale sharks grow to over 12 metres long but are gentle, filter-feeding giants; even Mark's five-year-old son can swim alongside them. Yet no-one knows where they go once they leave Ningaloo's turquoise lagoons. Using satellite tags and photo IDs, Mark tracks them to the white coral beaches of the Seychelles and the tropical jewel of Christmas Island, where bright-red land crabs begin their annual migration. It's hard work, taking in 20 failed satellite tags and countless frustrating dives, before Mark makes a breakthrough which doesn't just add to our understanding of these huge 'dinosaur fish' but offers crucial information about how the whale sharks of Ningaloo can be protected better.
