Shark Sighting Form

The European Basking Shark Photo-identification Project aims to promote conservation research by bringing together divers and researchers and sharing information. By submitting your photographs of Basking Sharks researchers hope to match your images with their research. This will reveal the, as yet poorly known, distribution and migration routes of this species. Helping with this project will aid conservation and management strategies by providing additional data. To submit your images fill out the form below. (If you weren't lucky enough to get a photo of the Basking Shark, you can still record all details of your sighting on the Shark Trust's online Sightings Database. Click here to find out more!)
