#Bournmouth #Shark #BritishSharks
An informative and objective, non sensational approach to possible shark activity in our waters by Islander Outdoors. Aggregation sites are being discovered worldwide for sharks such as the great white and these sites evolve as prey species relocate or expand their migratory patterns, so it’s inevitable that large marine predators will gradually associate to non-traditional feeding and hunting grounds. Other factors like water temperature and habitat conditions influence this.
Thanks KG! 👍🦈
lol wowed woir
The return of herring n tuna , lots of seals to , also Mediterranean has been basically fished out , who knows
East coast of USA South Carolina is now getting many confirmed sittings of big White Sharks. There are Great White nurseries right of the coast here. This is new for us. Seal colonies have recovered in the barrier islands here and in North Carolina Osearch goes out here in our waters and tags regularly. There is also a boat captain that will take you out around Hilton Head and show you where they are. I wouldn't doubt that the guy have moved to the UK waters now also. The be Orcas have run them out of their Mouth African feeding areas so they need to find new feeding areas on that side of the pond. The UK would be an obvious target.
Bournemouth is in Dorset, not Devon. Apart from that brilliant🤘
I went to Bournemouth beach the day before it happened
I was there that day
DORSET IS EPIC I LOVE IT
..Hampshire, originally...
@@tipthetube3219 The old border is still there between Bournemouth and Poole. It's called county gates.
I'm a Cornish lad and have spent my whole life in and around the water. The seals will nibble your fins and are fearless haha. I saw a large Threasher shark in waist deep water a few years back. It was easily recognisable by its long tail fin. Hot summer 7am and glassy flat water on an empty beach that was full of tourists by mid day. As soon as I entered the water it swam off. I felt so privileged and knew it was no danger to me. That's it in 40 years as far as dangerous sharks go. You see tons of basking sharks that get very close to the beach and it always sparks a frenzy with the tourists until the locals calm them down. We know there are plenty of mako, blue and porbeagles about too as the fishermen bring them in all around our coast. Lots of dolphins about and the odd whale too. My guess is that this shark at Bournmouth is a small basking shark. I do however believe we have white sharks in our waters but not in the numbers that they have elsewhere. We have all the right conditions so why wouldn't they be here. If I saw one I wouldn't report it because it's not fair to whip up a storm over a majestic creature just going about its natural behaviour. The tabloid press would be all over it and ruin the peaceful life us Cornish folks enjoy. I'm sure my view is shared by most Cornish people. It's our sea and the sharks are more welcome than the media frenzy. They need protecting from us rather than the other way around.
I agree. I’m in Bristol, but my Grandad was Cornish. I still have family there and spend plenty of time there in summer. I’d hate to think of what people would do to get a glimpse of a great white in the U.K., or worse, try to kill it. The seas are their home, not ours, regardless of location.
Well the sea is there domain, not ours, so we are privileged to swim amongst them 😃
ppl who say great whites dont live in uk are just hoping lol theres no way on earth that they dont swim in our seas if i was you id stay out the water ppl 1 day we will have our own jaws im sure
@@Lorianne-1111 The White Pointer is a protective species and would not be killed, especially in the UK. That said there have been no recorded sightings of the White Pointer on UK waters.
we don't actually have all the right conditions for Great whites where as we have a seal population but it is not large enough to sustain a white shark population. also the amount of seat traffic we have of the uk and especially here in cornwall. what with fishing boats both recreational and commercial (commercials are forever getting sharks in their nets) and diving and wildlife tours (in particular seal watching around the seal colonies). if there was a large costal feeding shark like a great white about it would have been spotted and documented by now. now that is not to say that they may not eventually as the gulf stream moves end up in our waters in the near future as many other Mediterranean species of fish are starting to turn up of our coasts here in cornwall
"Banging saucepans at the moon" had me in stitches. Host genuinely seems to care about sharks and always has comment or two that gives us a laugh 👏Well done mate
Cheers Tel 🤘
I live in Bournemouth and this was really big news the other day. Keep up the great work on your channel. I watch them all.
I've seen a pod of dolphins along that exact same stretch of beach.
A rare privilege.
I'm glad you are making these videos as it's a subject I find extremely interesting 🙂👍👍👍👍
I love any information I can find on sharks, just stumbled over your channel and immediately hit subscribe after the great unbiased information you give. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Cheers Lea 🦈👍
Another well balanced quality video Matt 👍🏼
Great content.. please do more like this, I’ve been intrigued by sharks all my life so things like this is brill for me.
The most underrated souls 🦈. I love the man who has been swimming with the same tiger sharks for many years...... Lemon sharks 🦈 can detect heartbeats. Love your channel. Thanks so much. Best from Kent 😀
Your videos are great. Keep up the informative good work mate👍
I noticed in lockdown...nature came in as we stepped back, there was much more wildlife around our coastline, no boats or pollution. I figure climate change will have an effect as waters warm forcing fish species into areas they weren't before...if they move..so will those who feed on them.
Yes correct. Last summer 2 Orca from the pod in the Orkney Islands came down the Irish Sea and into Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland. I've never heard of that happening before. Maybe because all the car ferries were not in use.
Druridge bay north east U.K. , last week- I went in the sea just waist deep, a grey/dark shadow swam in front of me- I believe it to be a Tope Shark, around less than a meter long, since they’re quite commonly seen in shallow (ish) waters. This remains one of the most confusing days of my life- one side filled with enjoyment like- “HOLY SHI_! I’m in the water with a shark!” Second thought “Okay, don’t move, just slowly walk backwards”
We need a Meglodon to patrol the channel!
Lol. We need about a dozen of them. 😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Plenty of food in the dinghies.
I'd love Meglodon to be reborn, wouldn't that be great.
@@hodgietwo1 big sharks are out there thats for sure meg size i couldnt say......
Shithouse
I live about six miles from Bournemouth in poole and saw this in the press but they say what it was apart from a sea creature. Thanks for the vid. Bournemouth is in Dorset not Devon.
Love your channel dude. I live in Scarborough North East Coast we get basking shark's sightings here and plenty bottlenose dolphins minky very very odd orca pods popping through. Various others plenty fish here we go bempton cliffs alot high on seabirds gannets kittiwakes Fulmer so on. Even have black browed albatross that's being coming here. Anyway enjoy your channel 👍
Imagine this was the start of big shark sightings regularly and we get a video footage of a great white 😱 I’d actually love it tbh lol
It’s intriguing, would love to see a Great White but not while I’m in the water with it 😂😂😂
Hey from Commiefornia! Good show. We have great whites here in Carlsbad, Encinitas where I swim as well as up and down our coast. Once in a while a seal will come check us out. Lots of porpoises and whales. I love the ocean. I can't think shark when at beach or I won't be able to go in! Lol
Bournemouth is in Dorset I was on the Beach around the corner 'Studland Bay' that day and for the first time of years of visiting each and every year around the same time the water was very warm and AMAZING to see very CLEAR to the point I don't understand how people couldn't tell what it was when the water was that clear. I was out on my paddle board about 600m from the shoreline and could practically see the bottom. What's even more interesting is the lack of reports from Poole harbor where you'll find some of the best fisherman in the country.. what are they saying? You'd of thought they would of been out in their dozen trying hook it! Anyways love the videos keep it up.
Haha there are much scarier things to be seen round Studland side! 🤣🤔🤘
@@RegionalOneBand Agreement 100% but I try not to drift into that zone my wife thinks it's too hairy and scary to visit 😅
@@NitroLogic Hahaha! She is not wrong!
It was quite possibly a Porbeagle as there seem to be more being spotted in our shallower waters these days. There is a video on Facebook of a Porbeagle swimming right into Plymouth Marina earlier this year for example (The video is on the National Marine Aquarium facebook page dated April 19th). If you saw that so close to shore you'd be certain it was a young Great White!
Bournemouth is in Dorset mate .I live here and was on the beach last week . Unfortunately not when this was seen 👍
My mistake! Thanks Paul 👍😬
Until 1974 it was in Hampshire.
@@AirbornePirates Ha no worries ..keep the vids coming!
MaaaN!! I like your channel very educational.. keep it up!!👍🏼
Should just set up chum line, with some heavy game fish takle, like Quint did and wait until one takes the bait. Then we'll know for sure.
I remember as a youngster snorkelling off Bournemouth besch and was surprised how close the mackerel would come in given the depth. So not a surprise really.
Great video, thanks and keep them coming
Enjoy your channel immensely
As an angler I have seen huge changes in the types of fish in our waters and our own native sharks are appearing where they were very rare before. I don't find it surprising that more are being noticed and I'm sure Great Whites are around our coastline now. Tuna are returning so why wouldn't large sharks? We must bear in mind that the top three killers of humans world wide are already here, namely Mosquitos, snakes and dogs. If you look at the stats for deaths and serious injuries caused by dogs you won't worry about the odd shark sighting. When did they last close a beach or a park for fear of a dog attack?
I see what you're saying, shark attacks are very rare, but the stats aren't entirely appropriate to compare here. Mosquitoes are not a top killer in the UK as their vector of death is indirect and involves transmission of disease, which is not prominent in the UK. Also, death from snakes is exceptionally rare in the UK with the last death being in 1975 (the high death rate comes from other areas of the world that host the dangerous species). As with dogs, it's often the owner that is attacked and although they don't shut the beach down, they do shut the dog down.
Although shark attacks are very rare, interacting with an aggressive breed of shark is also very rare. The vast majority of people will never come in contact with a shark, so when you come into contact with one, you're now a part of an exceptionally small group of people with an increased likelihood of attack. Here "contact" is defined as someone's personal space. Sharks are around more than people think, but when they enter your space it's often due to "curiosity" (which can kill). The comforting statistic no longer applies when sharing the water with an aggressive shark.
I guess we still don't know what species this was, but marine biologists, shark experts, national geographic, and local authorities all recommend leaving the water if something aggressive like a great white shows up. People should not be afraid to swim in the ocean because of sharks, but if one of these breeds is sighted, it's in both yours and the sharks best interest to leave the water. Protecting sharks involves working towards more positive people-shark interactions by reducing the frequency of attacks/deaths, which requires people to make decisions that reduce encounters.
Fact the most northerly recorded shark attack was at a beach in Lerwick Scotland hardly fatal but there it is , so why wouldn't someone believe that sharks inhabit our waters
Banging sauce pans at the moon. Think most have been doing that after the last 2 years. Really interesting videos keep them coming buddy. I live on the coast of Cumbria I've heard of dead sharks washing up but nothing like a great white. Mostly basking sharks around here. Seen alot of tope being caught off the wind farms off Walney island. Think that might be due to the electric current they give off. Weather that could attract more sharks to the area I don't know. But the natural marine life has suffered for it on the beach between the North and south end of the island. Marine life seams to be none existing.
It’s definitely not as common as it was even 3 years ago, we would see a lot more basking sharks here and they’re either being elusive or going elsewhere
Love your videos Man, please keep them coming ❤️
Now take them to hotel is free
Mate bournemouth is in Dorset . I was at boscombe beach last week 👍
It is now, but until 1974 it was in Hampshire. A big gain for Dorset. which hitherto had no really big towns.
My friend and I were boat fishing along the Christchurch ledge on that day, Not far from boscombe beach. Whilst drifting for mackerel we saw a large water disturbance about 500 metres away. when I say disturbance it appeared at first to me to be a small pod of dolphins. But upon further monitoring whilst we were slowly approaching it under power... it was clearly not dolphins... it was a large something or other that was slowly cruising making its own bow wave and heading in the direction of Hurst castle.... away from boscombe. Neither of us can confirm what we saw.... but we agree it was large. As we got closer is disappeared not to bee seen again.
Nessie.
Meglodon 😄
@@hodgietwo1 I think that would be amazing. I have a collection of fossil meg teeth.
Excellent channel, excellent videos, this is serious yet objective analysis, I’m personally counting down the days until a confirmed Great White sighting in UK waters is made...
Very unlikely as great whites don't go any further north then the south part of the coast of France in the Atlantic. Which is strange as in the Pacific they go as far north as Alaska and Siberia.
@@charlescarabott7692 A UK Marine biologist had a confirmed sighting of one off the coast of Scotland around 2003, Scotland has a huge seal colony, never say never..
Live in Belfast we had a orca which was eventually led out and back to sea .
Spent a lot of time in Belfast, great place
Tenby Wales again yesterday, a just before lunch time a wildlife tour boat crew spotted a large marine animal with a fin in the water, their words were it was definitely not a basking shark porpoise or dolphin, described it as "something we definitely have not seen here before" unfortunately no footage or pictures and was not seen again on subsequent trips.
Is this documented anywhere?
For years there have been tropical fish species and tropical insects moving to the UK due the warmer climate its indeed possible that there will be a day when shark signs are on certain british beaches because sharks will follow their foodsources.
He is clearly intelligent and inquisitive and presents very well. I like his posts.
Thanks buddy
@@AirbornePirates Enjoying your shark videos. I guess they have appeared my recommended videos as I've been watching TheMalibuArtist videos, where he films sharks & other marine animals with his drone close to Malibu beaches, so been really interesting how they interact with us humans, without being a real danger that the media portray. Would recommend you watch his channel if you haven't already.
I think that it is interesting from a historical context that there have never really been any reports of GW's in the UK. I'm taking about times stretching back to say the 14 or 1500's when the environment & in particular, the marine environment, would have really been pristine.
Two things on that though, there would have been nobody in the water & fishermen would have had a job identifying the species but I'm sure there would have been & possibly ARE accounts of giant fish & possible attacks on costal fishing boats?
I live in the area and there is a seal that frequently visits the beaches. Not saying it couldn’t have been a shark but there is a chance it was the seal.
They're out there alright.
Avoid cloudy days & surf with mates if you can.
No need to, just keep clear of seal colonies and shoals of fish, despite what the media might want you to think, these sharks mind their own business, and mostly only attack if provoked, you're more likely to be killed by a cow, so don't worry about getting into the water, these animals don't care about you. But of course you should know what to do if you have an encounter with one.
@@cptlatency428
We are on the Central Coast in Oz and it's full of Bull Sharks due to the many rivers and lakes in the area. If you don't take heed to your surroundings you will get hit.
The Bull Shark loves dirty water and cloudy days and just like the Croc he will wait you out.
@@anthonyraymond5718 Crocs and sharks are completely different animals, and also bull sharks have much different behaviour compared to White sharks and other sharks. Of course you should be aware of you're surroundings but you shouldn't be scared of the animals as they simply mind their own business and don't want anything to do with you. A shark will almost always know where you are and and as long as you don't provoke it you should be fine
@@cptlatency428
I've been surfing the East Coast of Australia for almost fifty years, I lost a mate to a Great White in 1984 up at Coffs Harbour and just recently had a mate have four vertebrae crushed by a Bull Shark at Lakes Beach on the Central Coast. FFS, you are talking to the wrong bloke when it comes to killer cows.
How long have you been surfing for?
@@anthonyraymond5718 Go watch some videos made by the RUclipsr TheMalibuArtist, specifically the ones where people get into close proximity to sharks. I'm done arguing with you.
Great, balanced and informative :-). It would be interesting to see if the person who was “bumped” had any marks on their body from the “encounter”. ….. ;-)
Like you say sounds like a basking and the Welsh guys probably spot on a mako.
Great video's, keep them coming. I dare say that with more people using Go Pro's & Drones there will be more corroborated sightings and evidence.
Nice watch by the way, what type is it?
Garmin Fenix, thanks 👏
Bournemouth - in Dorset
I just find all of this sooo fascinating, cant wait 4 ur next one👍👍👍👍
Thanks Gemma! 🦈🦈🦈
@@AirbornePirates no probs👍
Nice channel mate- subscribed!
Sammy seal lived in Plymouth Sound. One of his favourite games was to swim up behind you and gently nibble your toes.
Another favourite was to be merrily swimming around and then launch himself onto a kayak or canoe. Invariably, the paddler got an unscheduled dip. Then he'd play with the upturned kayak or canoe whilst you were trying g to right it. He was good fun, gentle and in his own environment wasn't scared of humans, regarding us as large toys!
Obviously, there were some who panicked and started yelling. Poor Sammy just looked bemused and swam off to find a friendlier 'toy'!
Keep the videos coming mate love the shark stuff… really interesting 👍👍
All the people down on Bournemouth beach that day .. and no one had footage or a photo ..
Awesome stuff!!!!!!🦈🦈🦈🦈👍👍👍👍
I’m from South Shields, there’s dolphins, seals and plenty of big basking sharks, they don’t even have teeth though do they
EXCELLENTLY DONE VIDEOS-thanks
Come on fergal plenty of grub in the channel scoff em down!!
Gotta figure for every white tracked by ocearch, there’s hella more untracked. Could be some don’t go along the eastern US so aren’t possible for them to track. Thumbs up to your videos!
they really should remake jaws in the uk
I was in the water on the day of the sightings a couple of miles away at sandbanks for an early morning open water swim. I thought I saw a fin briefly but just put it down to my eyes playing tricks and still think that was all it was.
Have a look at Oban on the water , he fishes around Cornwall and a porbeagle shark swims right up to his inflatable boat whilst he is fishing for seabass
Love the channel mate👍🏻
Love this channel, proper interesting thanks mate, and how many species of shark is there.?
A Shortfin Mako Shark in Bournemouth Beach not Great White Great Whites can be found in coastal waters but Mako Sharks are so cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great content keep up the good work bud
As a kayaker myself I really hope I get to see a big shark other than a basking shark in our waters.
Until it swims up and bites you on the ass 🤣🤣copyright Matt hooper woods hole oceanographic research centre
Hey my Weimaraner says hello to ur Weim , he looks a beauty :)
The image from what saw i think were released to the daily mail or the sun on facebook. Apparently it was in quite shallow water. I could not work out what the fin belonged to though but am very interested to find out what it was
Tuna in the channel....
Great clip 👍
Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I can tell the endangered short fin mako has thin spiked teeth designed for gripping fish, the reports say they have been harassed or caught on a line when they caused injury. Now if it's the blue shark I would be concerned as they have teeth for ripping flesh and are responsible for many unprovoked attacks on people.
Two miles out in a keyack in the ocean fishing was not smart.
They do it in Australia...that is terrifying to me! 😅
Good stuff again ma man cheers
Always makes me laugh The UK is visited by many shark species visiting our coast as well as having numerous species that are here full time!! Also this is not the first Bournemouth shark when I was a teen some around 30 years ago a Thresher Shark got itself caught up at Bournemouth Pier probably due to the large Mackerel population along that bit of coast!!!
This happened on the day I left Bournemouth
Keep up the good work
Bournemouth probably a basking
The kayak, a seal like you say, or basking 'inhaling' the line.
Cardigan, could be a porgy but probably SF mako
We regularly get basking sharks off the Dorset coast, that is probably what it was.
im fromengalnd we need shark alarms like australia
It’ll be a Porbeagle, no question. Few have started arriving locally. Those in the know, know. 😉🎣🦈
Glad to have looked this up! It was a little sensationalised, at least by word of mouth down in here in Bournemouth!
At 2.29 middle top of picture, is that a dorsal fin?
Not so sure it was a basking shark because of the depth of water there, there has been a fair bit of dolphin activity in the bay this year, chances are it was a porbeagle as there have been a few come in near over the years
When you enter anyone home eventually you will run into the those who live in the home please remember that when you enter the oceans but I am loving the channel
i think it was a dolphin,a baby one got parted from its family and lived in weymouth harbour for a few days a few years ago,then went off again,they are around
Fascinating report. Thanks
Very informative, living in Bournemouth myself we have had Dollies and seals but heard nothing about sharks😕 Sad thing is there is some poor creature out there with a hook and a rod attached to it. Cheers for info 😚😚😎
I seen a shark in Cornwall wen I was young
You can identify the type of shark by the dorsal fin, head, shape of body and teeth.
Get a drone up like malibu artist and you might know
Boscombe Bay is in Dorset not Devon.
Also cardigan Bay is approx 400 miles from Dorset (as the shark swims), not just round the corner.
Awesome mate this is getting really interesting buddy. Thanks for sharing my friend loved it. Stay safe and I hope all is well your end.
P.s I used the beanie on my latest wild camp 🤙
You’re a legend mate 🤘
Yeah I've been kayaking and when a sea lion or seal comes up to your kayak it's a trip lol from Oregon. Btw I'm obsessed with salmon sharks, Porbeagle's. Fast warm sharks in cold water. Awesome
I really hope we do see signs like that, but im afraid for the sharks as it will spark all the glory fishermen to go after them i really do hope more and more keep coming and people do they're homework and respect these animals
Best notification *all day!* ...actually, possibly all year if it turns out to be a predatory shark!
Can it be true??? 🙊
Thanks Shelly! I’ll take that 😬
@@AirbornePirates 👌
Boscombe beach is my local beach!!!
A lot of blue porbeagle and thresher around Paignton and brixham
Well you manage to freak the shit out of me. I’m not even sure I’m taking my daughter back out on the SUP and we’ll stick to rivers🤨
You’ll be safe at sea! 👍
