2. Outstanding!

Such wonderful creatures. I had no idea they were around in Hawaii. I have spent a good bit of time diving there, lots of other sharks but never saw a whale shark and never were they mentioned as a possibility. This is wonderful and also sad. What a mess we have made.

4. Wow! Impressive.

What an amazing family.

"...you feel like you have a special connection to the resources that surround you and your family,” says Kapua."

Wish the people who dump the "more than 700,000 tons of new gear enters earth’s oceans each year" felt the same way.

6. What kind of people would work so hard at something which won't give them a lot of profit?

People of conscience, people of depth, people of value.

Their new friend struggled in terror, was released after their hard work and respect, and will live the rest of its life having lived through a miracle.

Thank you, Bayard.
