We're excited to start exploring off the UK and Ireland soon and begin our journey to solve the life history puzzle of the white shark in the eastern North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea!
@@AirbornePirates why? I dont mean that disrespectfully, but why would you want an organization known for such invasive methods coming in and possibly injuring, maming, or killing such a majestic resource/animal? Id love to know which university or researchers are involved in this expedition?
Doesn’t matter what other people say you keep doing what you enjoy doing! I love the vision, passion and personality you bring to your content! Keep it coming mate.
Yes nobody jump on this channel and start picking the information apart, because this man has gone out his way to make all of us a channel to enjoy..so let's all keep it friendly .
It's an exciting project alright. Finding a gw in UK waters will be like the proverbial needle in a haystack, but I've long suspected they do come into our waters. Hats off to everyone involved for giving this a serious crack.
This is so exciting, even if they fail to tag a GWS in British waters the chance of tagging a meditteranean shark that then migrates to UK waters has really got me looking forward to this. I started following Ocearch when Lydia took her epic journey accross the Mid atlantic ridge. 2022/23 could finally be the year we get confirmation of Whites in our waters.
Matt cheers for the exciting update bud. We had Bluefin Tuna confirmed just a few miles off the Co Antrim coast here in Northern Ireland a few months ago and it’s the first time in my 50 years I’ve heard that. So you never know m8 I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all concerned on the GW search. Best wishes from Danny N.I.
I fish mate, and I fully agree with you. The environment and food sources make for perfect Great White habitat. I haven’t seen one, but I do believe they’re here👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work mate💪🏻💪🏻
I think they might find whites visiting during summer months, granted whites can regulate their body temperatures to survive in colder waters, South Africa and New Zealand prove this, however I personaly believe they wouldn't regulate body temp to visit UK waters in colder months as this can use up valuable energy searching for food that could also be found just as easily in warmer waters, hence saving them the stress of having to regulate their temp unnecessarily.
I think that to confirm that Great White sharks do visit British waters without harming one in any way shape or form would create a bond between the British public and the Great White shark especially when the media get involved and the species becomes 'our' Great White shark overnight. Hopefully this bond could lead to a great drive for conservation and understanding of and respect for this incredibly evolved phenomenally powerful apex marine predator.
I have been certain since the 70's that the only reason we didn't have Great Whites around my home in Cornwall was the lack of a viable food source. Now with what seems to be a massively increased seal population; who knows...
Makes me shiver at the thought of many family holidays in Wales growing up where I was often swimming out in the sea in water up to my neck and paddling out in a small inflatable dingy fishing with oily fish baits, lugworm, spinners and bits of bacon etc...🤔😳
@@traceyelizabeth2559 The bacon was the best bait to use, everytime we put some out we caught something even the odd crab 🦀 Must be the flavor, just shudder to think of a great white casually swimming beneath us, being attracted by the whiff of bacon! The only threat I ever considered while swimming in the sea was the occasional jelly fish! 😳😁
Great news Matt I have been and will keep following your progress in the search fo Great Whites in UK waters. As a very keen sea angler myself I'm rather dismayed to hear that some RUclips anglers are against what your doing, and I fail to understand their reasoning? Keep up the good work mate.
I wasn’t sure either, everyone is entitled to an opinion and that’s fair. But he was rude about what I was doing, a little too big for his boots perhaps 🙄
Just recently found your videos, I enjoy the British waters like many, and I’ve always suspected (just an amateurs opinion) that we get GWS visitors. Anyway point is, keep going, because your not crazy for doing the science, loving the videos, you’ve got another subscriber.
Really looking forward to hearing the results of this study when they publish it! Very exciting! I'm not one for swimming in the sea in the UK, it's just too cold for me nowadays, but getting confirmation for what I already believe would be fantastic (Proof of Great Whites in British waters!). Such beautiful animals!
I'm enjoying this channel.Living in Guernsey I've always wondered about great whites in our waters.Great white Sharks fascinate me always have.Thank you for the information and the link above.👍👍👋
Been really excited about this since you first mentioned it last year. Will be avidly following all this very closely. And as usual, a very informative and professional video. Fingers and toes crossed! 🦈
GW sharks can be found in all oceans of the world - especially near their favourite food sources. A scientist was once attacked (non fatal) swimming off Macquarie Island (sub Antarctic). They're also seen regularly off the Hawaiian Islands. There is no reason why they wouldn't periodically travel in and around the British Isles.
🇬🇧🦋it’s so so exciting , 2022 is going to be sharkalious 🦈🦈🦈 I am so glad dream is coming together ... just keep believing x Take care , keep safe lulu and Paul 🦈🦋🇬🇧xxx
Hi there. I remember, back in the 90’s I think, the This Morning show with Richard and Judy. Richard hot very excited indeed when there were reports of a great white was encountered off the Cornish waters. Judy freaked out and said she hated the thought of them being there and thought Richard was insane to want and like this, but he was adamant that it was great news. See if u can check it out. So they’ve been around here longer than people were aware maybe!! Love your channel. 🥰🥰🥰
Iv worked on the ocearch boat doing maintenance and I had the chance to meet a few of the ocearch guy and they’re super cool, interesting guys and they love their job. Hopefully get to see them around South Wales if they’re about that way
Very exciting times. If they’ve discussed coming over and have deemed it worthy trip and financial commitment there’s obviously reasons behind it. I don’t believe they’d just throw money and time and effort just for the sake of it.
It's very exciting news indeed!! As far as I know it's only been tried to any significant extent once before. This was a few years ago in Scottish Waters, but ended up being severely limited by bad weather. Roll on the autumn!! 🙂👍
Hiya mate, I've been watching your channel with great interest. I don't know if youve seen this already but, a channel called TA Fishing posted a vid four years ago, called Great White Sharks in the UK. There's some very credible eye witness reports of a GW in the Solent. Keep up the good work man, I'm sure you are right and GWs are in UK waters.
I find it wild that you talked about sharks in the middle of the forest still gained a subscriber from me would love to find a great white shark in Britain I have a fascination about great white sharks happy I found your channel👍
Hi Matt I went on a shark watching trip to South Africa in 2012 with Apex shark expeditions. I had an interesting conversation with Alison Towner in Gaansbaai about White Sharks in British waters. A few of the other people on the trip sneered at the suggestion of a British Great White. I hope you manage to get your own research/expedition moving. I personally think that when conditions are ideal on our coastlines the seas will be too rough to effectively monitor the presence of Great Whites or it will be first/last light when they are active ( it was definitely that case in False Bay) Best Wishes Martin
Watched every video of the series and have been checking out your other stuff along the way! Keep it up pal massive respect for not churning out pointless videos like most on this platform. Great work! 👍🏻
'Banging saucepans at the Moon' 😂 love it! Glad I caught this, I was hoping Ocearch would make time for the UK and the Med. Great stuff, something to look forward to post Summer hols 👍☺👌
Our shores are perfect habit for great white sharks. Plenty of food, not alot of humans in the water . But loads of seals and we did have at one time a large tuna population in the North Sea. Good eating if your a white shark visiting from the Mediterranean.
I've been a watcher of ocearch for over a Yr now and it's amazing work. It's so important to understand that the predators of the sea aren't the villains they're portrayed as. It must be so awe-inspiring to be able to share actual space with these magnificent fish.
I've always said that the great white sharks are around the uk waters , we have the food sorce for the great white sharks , plus climate change, something I've mentioned about 8 us ago. I'm no sharks expert but I do know great whites love seals. I live Scotland I've heard a few stories of great white swimming up esteries, fourth and Clyde! . Right fom a teenager I've always had a fascination for sharks and seaworlds!
I hope they come to Devon as it would very interesting just to know how other sharks are doing 🤫please keep going with your work as it's very important xx
I'm in Ireland, I used to live in IOM many moons ago🤣 I have always wondered why we don't have whites in British and Irish Waters, to me it would be more logical to have rather than not have them. 'Especially with our huge seal population, I have no idea why some people think its crazy. If its a case of 'they would be seen' that maybe because , as a population, we don't spend as much time in the water as people do in the likes of South Africa or Australia.
This is super exciting ... I always think about this when I dive around the coast of Northern Ireland. Last year I was hoping to see the basking shark but didn't get a chance despite asking the dive shop in portstewart to let me know if they are sighted so I could book a boat and film them .. hopefully this year .. if your ever in Northern Ireland and need a volunteer please give me a shout .. love what your doing 🙌👌
Massively excited by both Ocearch and your project, both for British and the Mediterranean waters. This is something I've been fascinated with since childhood- ignore the naysayers. No reason why the occasional visitor doesn't come up or across to the UK. The chances of bumping into one are slim, but as the famous old saying goes 'if you don't go, you don't know'.
I live near Hastings, and the sea is crawling with seal. I constantly see them when i go fishing. I've often wondered why Whites aren't in our waters. Conditions are perfect. Especially out west
Great job on the channel bud.. ive fished my whole life and spent alot of time near or on the water and ive always been adamant they visit here, even if only a few rogues, perfect conditons here too, despite peoples misconceptions.. ive personally got fairly close to a very large shortfin mako on the south coast a few years ago, a bit unnerving but stunning creature.. keep up the good work and do what YOU enjoy, forget the haters 👍
That's brilliant that should be a great way to really find out for sure . I hope your there to record it if they do strike lucky that way we all see it .
I think its fantastic what your doin regarding sharks especially great whites in our seas . I personally believe that we do have great whites in our seas and I'm lookin forward to seeing what osearch come up with, must be somthin if they are spending 4wks or so at 25 grand a day 🤷🏻♂️ , keep up the good work and content 👍
The GWS's of the colder regions are the largest. But, that aforementioned statement may be untrue because sharks get bigger with age, and as people get older, they tend to retire down in places like Key Largo, and warmer climates. I've always wanted to go some place cold, and dark. I imagine Great Whites are similar: Let all of the tropical fruits go to Florida, and we'll go to the uninhabited north.
Definitely sounding very interesting this mate , I convinced there about to , I use to jetski in the estuary where thames meets sea at Isle sheppey on rubber rings but not any more knowing the tuna have been back in numbers over last few years the predators have to be about to. The 1000lbs + mako caught in wales put shivers up me to a bit
Love this mate! It’s going to change up my spearfishing game if they are confirmed here in the UK. I may have to think twice about trailing a couple of bass on my fish stringer 😂
I know about the porbeagle off West Clare and blues. But I know a guy from Valentina in Kerry who said he seen a great white chasing a seal off Culoo rock back in the early 2,000 s he's seen hundreds of basking shark's and what he seen that day was way bigger than a porbeagle....
We're excited to start exploring off the UK and Ireland soon and begin our journey to solve the life history puzzle of the white shark in the eastern North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea!
I’m excited for this! 🇬🇧🦈

Great! I follow and sponsor Ocearch, good to see they are coming our way! I am also a firm believer that they are in our waters! 💯
Have spotted many basking sharks off west coast of Scotland. They are stunning animals!
But I am doubtful that any GWs are ever in the area.
Apparently a fisherman claims to have seen a great white around Langstone harbour between mainland and haling near where I live. Sounded credible .
I love this xx cant wait to see the outcome xx
