Basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) are the world’s second-largest fish and regular visitors to UK coastal waters, especially around Cornwall, the Hebrides, and the Isle of Man. Though harmless plankton feeders, they face increasing threats from marine traffic disturbance, entanglement in fishing gear, pollution, and shifting plankton levels due to climate change. Conservation efforts focus on marine protected areas, public awareness campaigns, and improving data through citizen science sightings. Individuals can support basking shark conservation by reporting sightings, reducing plastic use, respecting wildlife guidelines when boating, and supporting marine protection initiatives.
