OCEARCH is Heading to Europe: Expedition Save the Med

OCEARCH is traveling over 4,000 miles to explore European waters and study the Mediterranean white shark population. A study of this kind has never been done before.
We believe that in the summer and fall the white sharks in this region could be migrating out of the Mediterranean Sea to forage in eastern North Atlantic waters. This is why we will begin to collect data to solve the puzzle of the Mediterranean White Shark Population off the coasts of Spain, France and Ireland.
Access to our ocean giants is extremely challenging, and their movements and activities are largely unknown. Just one shark can help unlock the secrets of the Mediterranean white shark population and help us protect the region.

Good luck. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 SHARK BYTES did a video about whether there are white sharks in the UK. Kris said the most likely spot to find them is Cornwall. SHARK BYTES also did a video about white sharks in the Mediterranean and why they are so rare in the Med.

This will go down in history when you tag a white shark from this region and observe its migratory patterns to areas never previously understood. Keep up the great work, 88 days and counting 🦈

[@Alan07881]

Absolutely fantastic, the UK welcomes you with open arms despite what out crap government say, the preservation of our sea life should be out top priority.

[@carlogiacometti1996]

Thank you for your work, this is a like a dream come true for european shark lovers. If this expedition succeeds do you have plans to look for great whites in the actual waters of the mediterranean? It would be such a milestone to film one underwater off the coast of sicily or the adriatic!

[@misterx8585]

Great news!👍🦈

[@user-qu8vj3hw7m]

88 days, I will be glued to this channel

[@Sanniz]

Really looking forward to hear about the Great Whites over here. Thanks for making this! Will be so exciting! 🦈🦈🦈🦈

I was recently in San Francisco and spoke to a guy who works in Alcatraz prison..We got into talking about Great Whites that are common around there especially with all the seals on pier 39 I mentioned the water temperature there, is near enough the same as in the Uk and he agreed that there’s got to be Great Whites in and around the UK waters .

Thanks!

[@Hazzy809]

This is gonna be amazing I can already see it .personally I love sharks and I wonder if the differences across the same species will be large or small

[@jbmurphy4]

I hope you find one near Ireland. I remember seeing a basking shark breach out of the water 3 times on the west coast of Ireland in achill island 10 years ago. There was a seal swimming nearby and it ran onto the beach & looked out to sea anxiously. I feel it was aware of great whites nearby & didn’t want to take the chance in case the shark wasn’t a basking shark.

Pls make some european merch like the US merch or even a swimsuit

[@readytogo6569]

[@MikeMcMorrowThe]

@osearch When does it ALL Kick off ?? 🎉 Irish Sea GW's exist 🇮🇪

[@banPersie]

Wait, you are not entering Mediterranean Sea at all, just Bay of Biscay?

[@banPersie]

@@Alan07881 Yes, I did. It is clear they only plan to visit Bay of Biscay and UK.

"taking all the information you learned about white sharks of the US". Totally blowing off all the great white shark info you learned about white sharks off Canada.
