US EditionScientists hunting 'the great white shark heard around the world' in UK waters
- A team of scientists, including Dr. Nick Payne from Trinity College Dublin, is currently hunting for great white sharks off the Irish and UK coasts as part of an expedition led by the US non-profit research organization Ocearch.
- For decades, the presence of great white sharks in British and Irish waters has been a mystery, with no confirmed sightings to date, but scientists now believe the conditions are ideal for them.
- Scientists suggest that the region provides a 'Goldilocks environment' with suitable water temperatures, abundant food sources, and appropriate seabed habitats, making it a potentially comfortable place for sharks.
- Ocearch founder Chris Fischer stated that finding a great white in these waters "would be the shark heard around the world" and "the greatest thing we have ever achieved on the water."
- On July 9, 2024, Need To Know shared a picture on Twitter of a man rescuing a shark on a British beach, highlighting the ongoing interaction between humans and sharks in the region.
