No. Basking Sharks are COMPLETELY harmless. Although they may come across as gigantic and dangerous, they only feed on vegetation and small plankton. For an example you could compare a basking shark with a whale shark and find that they have many things in common.
No they do not eat humans - they eat mostly small animals like plankton or minnows.

How many sharks are killed in shark nets a year?

Shark nets are a mere precaution meaning they won't necessarily stop a shark from entering a beach but research shows that they are effective.
What monster shark is not dangerous to people?
None, they are all out to kill, if you encounter one it will kill you. It will hurt, and you will bleed, a slow and painful death.ANSWERSharks do not seek out and kill humans. Occasionally some sharks, such as the great white shark, attack humans because they mistake them for their preferred prey (seals in the case of the great white). Shark attacks are relatively rare, although I don't advise going up close with most species of shark without a professional. Most species of large sharks have been known to attack humans occasionally, although the whale shark (the largest species of shark in the world) are not known to have ever purposefully attacked a human, although an accidental blow from its tail could be dangerous.
