It's the Basking Shark season!
 
Since May Basking Sharks have been been patrolling UK and Irish waters, favouring marine areas with high productivity - in other words: lots of plankton!  Around our coasts a number of broad geographical regions have gained prominence as Basker 'hotspots' - including England's southwest, the Isle of Man, the west coast of Scotland and the north of Ireland.

Use the Shark Blog to keep up with the latest shark sightings and information from each hotspot!
