Do sharks live in the UK?

Answer 1

At least 21 species of shark occur around the coasts of Britain, from the Small-spotted Catshark to the large streamlined Blue Shark and plankton eating Basking Shark. At least half of British Sharks, including the Dogfish, Porbeagle and Basking Shark, are resident off the British coast all year-round. Blue Sharks and Short Fin Makos are seasonal visitors, appearing in British waters in summer during their trans-Atlantic migrations. A few species, Smooth Hammerhead and Frilled Shark may be vagrants, occurring infrequently off the British coast, with their main distribution ranges being outside British waters. At least 11 shark species, including the Portuguese Dogfish, Black Dogfish, Kitefin Shark and Gulper Sharks are only found in deep water.
