Abstract
On November 6th and November 12th, 2020, two sub-adult Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus) Smith 1828, were successfully restrained and relocated in situ after being stranded for 4 and 2 weeks respectively, in manmade canals inland of Abu Dhabi, UAE. The first relocation operation took ~5 hours to complete a distance of 23.5 km and the second ~3.5 hours for 20km. Both individuals were in good condition after the transportation, with the second R. typus tagged with a SPOT 253 tracker (Wildlife computers).
