The
Marine Conservation Society
launched it's
Basking Shark Watch project
in 1987 to gather information from members of the public, fishermen and sea users, on their sightings of Basking Sharks.
As a result, MCS now holds the UK's largest dataset on Basking Shark distribution and behaviour and is now contributing to wider studies to determine the factors that affect their abundance and seasonal appearance in UK waters
.

Furthermore, the Marine Conservation Society compiled the UK proposal to have the Basking Shark listed on
Appendix I of The Bonn Convention of Migratory Species
(CMS)
.
