Basking shark tag



This is a screen grab from a basking shark that Mark Harding (Acuatours Dive Conservation and Dive Tours) filmed in July when he was aboard Sula Crion with us. Very excitingly the shark is believed to have been tagged by the Irish Basking Shark Project in 2011 or possibly 2010 off of Donegal although unfortunately it was so fouled it was not possible to get the tag number… :-)
