Basking Shark Project - global citizen science observations of Cetorhinus maximus
Listed in GBIF
This dataset details approved records from the Shark Trust's Basking Shark Project.
Description
This dataset is in part comprised of records from the Marine Conservation Society's Basking Shark Watch (1986-2018), and data provided from the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch. Comprised of citizen science observations, records of Basking Sharks (sighted from land or at sea) from around the world have been complied to help better understand this species.
Data comes mostly from ad-hoc records, with some observations recorded from more structured surveys and data uploads from partner organisations.
