                Basking Sharks ARE BACK !!!

Recently in 2019, people on whale watching trips along the Southern California Coast have seen a rare sight, dozens of basking sharks in the water. This was the first time in several decades they have been seen in the area, in large groups. Basking sharks, the world’s second largest fish, can measure up to 30 feet in length and weigh over 10,000 pounds, but they are harmless to humans. They used to be found in large groups in temperate waters in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, but almost vanished in the California coast from excessive fishing and killing. It was hard to revive the shark’s population because scientists knew little of them. But it was assumed that because the ocean was changing, that was the reason why the basking sharks came back.
