I am interested in seeing if unsustainable practices for whale shark tourism have an effect on not only the shark itself, but the environment/local community as well. Are there any past studies that deal with this?
interesting question, just try to ggole it.

Whale watching in Sri Lanka: Perceptions of sustainability
Whale watching creates an economic value for whales beyond consumption and therefore assists in the conservation
of the species. However sustainable management is needed to avoid deleterious impacts on the whales
and the industry. This paper uses a range of qualitative methods to examine the characteristics, management
and perceived sustainability of the relatively newly established whale watching industry in Sri Lanka. It is clear
that the laissez faire development of the industry has resulted in some poor conservation outcomes for the
whales as well as variable tourist experiences. The Sri Lankan government has introduced legislated regulations
aimed at managing the industry however itmust ensure adequate human and financial resources are provided to
ensure the effective implementation of the regulations and therefore the sustainability of the industry
