It is that time of year! Basking Sharks
The basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) are here but do not worry these plankton feeders are gentle giants and are the second-largest fish in the ocean. These seasonal visitors begin to arrive in April (one has already been seen in St. Ives!) as the water warms following the plankton-filled currents. However, due to climate change, their sightings around the British Isles are declining nevertheless we tirelessly search on our trips for this magnificent animal.
So book up for the last week of April and let's see if we can find a basking shark together!
