In this episode of the Beyond Jaws podcast, Dr. Alexandra McInturf shares her journey in shark science and conservation, highlighting her impressive academic and research background. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, a landlocked state, Alexandra developed a passion for marine biology and sharks at a young age, inspired by a family trip to Florida and the influence of Shark Week. She graduated cum laude from Williams College with degrees in biology and English, later earning her PhD in animal behavior from the University of California, Davis. Her doctoral research focused on basking sharks and involved significant citizen science efforts. Despite challenges, including not seeing basking sharks during her fieldwork in Ireland, she pivoted her research to utilize existing data and collaborated with other researchers, including Dr. David Ebert. Currently, Alexandra is a research associate at Oregon State University's Big Fish Lab, where she examines the foraging ecology of salmon sharks and investigates the impacts of microplastics on marine life. She is also involved in community engagement and outreach, aiming to raise awareness about sharks in Oregon, a state often overlooked in shark research. One of her notable recent projects involved studying a ship strike incident involving a basking shark, which underscored the importance of understanding human impacts on marine species. Alexandra emphasizes the significance of mentorship and science communication in her work, striving to make shark science more inclusive and accessible to the public. Through her efforts, she aims to contribute to the conservation of threatened marine species and foster a greater understanding of their ecological roles.

Fit bit style technology attached to a basking shark has revealed how the seven-metre animal was hit by a boat off the Kerry coast. A scientific team from Trinity College Dublin fitted the device with an integrated camera on the female basking shark to gather data on the animal. Only six hours later, she was hit by a boat in an area which is part of Páirc Naisiúnta na Mara. Joe spoke to Nick Payne who’s assistant professor at Trinity College Dublin’s School of Natural Sciences.

Nick Payne, Assistant Professor in Trinity College Dublin's School of Science, discussses' ground breaking research detailing how endangered basking sharks respond to boat strikes.

Ken O'Sullivan, underwater cameraman and documentary-maker

This week we talk with Dr. Haley Dolton about how she studied the physiology of basking sharks in Ireland! This is no small feat. We read Dr. Dolton's article, "Regional endothermic traits in planktivorous basking sharks Cetohinus maximus" Article Summary: The majority of sharks are classified as cold-blooded or ectotherms. Sharks are constantly battling heat loss to the surrounding water. To combat this, some fast-swimming apex species are classified as regional endotherms, having uncommon physiological traits such as elevated internal body temperatures, centralized red muscle, and thick-walled hearts. Within the order Lamniformes, housing the only regionally endothermic sharks, you can find the basking shark which is a large, filter-feeding planktivorous species. Previous research has led to the conclusion that basking sharks are ectothermic. To investigate this, Dolton et al. collected muscle samples and measured the internal temperature of basking sharks finding that they displayed the traits previously stated. Their research leads to the finding that basking sharks may not be correctly classified as an ectotherm, which is a surprising find!

Shane talks to Ben & Evan about their season so far. Joining in April for the first time they've had a stellar season. Lots of wildlife sightings including John Coe & Aquarius, fin whales, epic minke interactions, swimming with basking sharks. Along with our amazing trip to Mingulay & St Kilda and adventures around the Inner Hebrides.

Yes they do! Rachel & Shane talk about the common question that we are asked. Do basking sharks breach? They are the biggest shark/fish in the world to do so and there has been a couple of recent studies that have measured speed and other parameters. The researchers found that the speed basking sharks attain when they breach is similar to that of white sharks. It is suggested that they breach for communication or courtship. Removal of parasites has also been suggested but perhaps more likely to be an ancillary benefit to the behavoir. Have you heard of the Carradale incident? Britain's only recorded death by (basking) shark attack. Listen to find out more!

Rachel & Shane travel to the Isle of Mull from Oban to record an episode with Mauvis Gore & Rupert Ormond. Seasoned basking shark researchers who we've worked with over the years. We talk about how they got into marine biology and basking sharks. Talking about the research in the Clyde, working with ex basking shark hunter Howard McRindle. The famous basking shark who was first tracked across the Atlantic, travelling nearly 10,000km and diving over 1200m in depth. Then onto the Hebrides studies based out of Mull & Coll, photo ID, population estimates, close following and courtship. Then of course their favourite basking shark encounters! Special guest appearance from Captain Smudge the cat, perhaps the only cat in the world to see a cuviers beaked whale!

Our second part of our chat with Colin Speedie. In this episode, we move on from his survey work and that wonderful evening spent with numerous sharks. To the history of basking shark hunting, ranging from the the olden days many centuries ago, through to the post WW2 era and then the last of the hunting in the 90's. We hear about the romanticised hunters of the post war era including Gavin Maxwell, along with the ruthlessness of the Norwegian whaling fleets, who over the period have through to have taken over 60,000 basking sharks. It's always good to have a positive outcome though, despite such hunting, the basking sharks somehow managed to survive and recovering with the help of modern protective measures!

Colin Speedie is a well respected name in basking shark circles. With him conducting the bulk of early basking shark surveys around the west coast, laying groundwork for the modern scientific survey and ultimately the first marine protected area (MPA) in the world for basking sharks. Colin is also the founder of WISE, the training scheme for education on behaviour around marine wildlife. Along with being the author of A Sea Monsters Tale, a highly recommended read on basking sharks. We talk to him about the highs and lows of basking shark surveys, what he found and of course what was his best bit was. This is a two part podcast with the second part leading into his research into basking shark hunting.

How do you collect basking shark DNA!? In this episode we speak to Les Noble about his long term study into basking shark genetics. Modern DNA techniques are revealing amazing information about basking sharks, how they are related and their migration patterns. During our tours we have been collecting slime samples for Les and his team to help with the study. This is a fascinating and exciting discussion into this ground breaking basking shark research. How related are basking sharks within a group? Do basking sharks return to the same area every year? Does this research highlight the vulnerability of basking shark to local exploitation. Listen in and also hear about the basking shark named Geri Halliwell!

Following on from our blog post and youtube video on the subject. We've recorded a podcast chatting about the same subject! Join us for a whistlestop worldwide basking shark tour discussing how the name came about, how the English name is different to everywhere else. How far down the rabbit hole of names, human and natural history go!? Should we start a petition to change the name, since it was based on wrong assumptions? If so what would you call it?? Should the public be trusted not to vote Sharky McSharkFace!?

Episode 23 is all about basking shark conservation. Alex tells us about The Irish Basking shark group, a group of conservation scientists. We dive into Alex's journey into the group, and how it has evolved into a group of people passionate about conserving the basking sharks.

All about sharks

In this episode Rachel & Shane discuss all the questions sent in by our audience. Including some of the following; Where do basking sharks migrate too? How many basking sharks are in the UK? What's the best time of year to see basking sharks? How long do basking sharks live for? Where do basking sharks gives birth? Why do basking sharks breach? Are there any known cases of basking sharks being predated by white sharks or orca? Do basking shark smile? and...........thanks to Jack- who would win in a fight, a whale shark or a basking shark Some of the questions you always want to know and some you never wanted to know! Look out for our next episode in the coming months!

We kick off episode 121 with the AMERICAN PADDLEFISH found in the Mississippi River and with a cartilage snout that resembles a paddle. They eat plankton which takes us over to PLANKTIVORES. The largest planktivore on earth is the BASKING SHARK whose oil filled liver is used in TRADITIONAL MEDICINE. And one of the oldest forms of traditional medicine is IRANIAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE.

Basking sharks on the West Coast USA?!?! Dr. Alex McInturf returns from season 1 and gives us a MASSIVE update about her career, basking shark populations, and the tea on basking shark conservation. Did you know basking sharks were along the West Coast USA?! Most don't, because these sightings are now extremely rare. This week we breakdown Dr. McInturf's article, "“Spatial Distribution, Temporal Changes, and Knowledge Gaps in Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) Sightings in the California Current Ecosystem” McInturf et al. 2022 Article Summary: Basking sharks are the world's second largest fish, and one of the three filter-feeding shark species. Basking sharks are very slow growing, long-lived animals that have a 20-30 year generation time (meaning, there is 20-30 years between two consecutive generations). This species is found around the world and is capable of large-scale migrations. Basking sharks will aggregate during certain months, known as basking shark “hot spots”. Hotspots were observed Eastern North Pacific coastline and California Current Ecosystem, but are now rarely observed. McInturf et al. (2022) compiled recent and historical datasets to examine temporal patterns of basking shark sightings in the California Current Ecosystem, and determine the spatial, temporal, and environmental drivers that have affected basking shark presence and distribution for the last 50 years. Their research showed that there were nearly 4,000 sharks sighted per year until the 1990s, after which sightings are extremely rare. There was also a 50% decline in basking shark school size. McInturf et al. provide insight to why the basking shark population declined, and offer suggestions for future research and conservation efforts.

Following a widely supported online petition that was launched last summer and which attracted almost 13,000 signatures, the Basking Shark is to be granted the status of a ‘protected wild animal' here under the Wildlife Acts. We are joined by the man behind the petition, Dr. Simon Berrow of the Irish Basking Shark Group.

In this episode we chat with the archaeological (Clare Henderson) and wildlife (Craig Nisbet) rangers of St Kilda, the island group which sits 100 miles away from mainland Scotland. This rugged and isolated location has both an amazing human history along with extraordinary wildlife. It's home to a million sea birds, the highest sea cliffs & sea stacks in the UK along with being a duel UNESCO world heritage site. The island archipelago sits right out in the North Atlantic so has a well respected reputation for fearsome weather, but it's location also means it's a magnet for a whole range of wildlife above and below the waves. Clare & Craig give us a glimpse into their lives on the island as they spend a summer season based out there. Tales of snedge the snowy owl, living in the luxury of the manse, commuting to work by helicopter, wild swimming, seabird surveys, weather, human history, penguins and of course the basking sharks, and specially the baby shark that was seen this summer past! It's a dream location to visit and one which is a difficult one to undertake with all the conditions required to come together. We are hoping to visit in May during a week based on Barra. Fancy joining us for a wild adventure! Check out our trip here. For more information on the islands check out the NTS website here (National Trust for Scotland).

This episode we are jumping fins first into the weird and mysterious life of the second-largest shark in the world - basking sharks! I am joined by Shane and Rachel from Basking Shark Scotland, an organisation on the beautiful west coast of Scotland, which happens to be one of the global hotspots to see these sharks. Over summer they spend everyday in the water with basking sharks and know a thing or two about them...together, we answer all your questions about the big beasties, including what they eat, where they go after summer, how they mate and what threats they face. Stay tuned to find out how such a huge shark is adapted to eat enough of its tiny food source, meet a humpback whale called Barney, and why basking sharks touch fins sometimes...

If you're a fan of nature (of course you are) & you're on social media (very likely too) then you will know that within the conservation industry there often debates or dare I say battles between people or organisations with opposing views. For example the shooting industry & the RSPB. This got me thinking, how does this affect the progress & overall end result of projects or debates. To help teach me more about this I spoke with conservation scientist & ambassador for Save Our Seas Foundation, Isla Hodgson. Before we spoke about conservation conflicts I HAD to talk to Isla about another passion in her life, Basking Sharks. Isla has spent many hours in the presence of these wonderful animals & her love for them came across perfectly. We then swiftly moved on to discuss the human behaviour side of conservation conflicts & what impact this can have on the success for the protection of the planet.

Large Basking Sharks have been spotted off the coast of Southern California. It's important to note that this has not happened in decades, according to this article. There has actually been an increase in sightings of Basking Sharks, which could mean two things: 1) More people are able to identify Basking Sharks and not mistake them for Great White Sharks; and/or, 2) There are more Basking Sharks coming to the coastline.  Either one of those possibilities means good news for the Basking Shark population.

In this poetically beautiful short film by Irish nature filmmaker and illustrator, Vincent Hyland, the plight of the Atlantic Salmon in Ireland is dramatically depicted from the Salmon's point of view. Recently, a ban on drift net fishing of these magnificent fish was enacted in Ireland. The drift net ban originated by pressure from the European Union which is taking the Irish Government to Court over non-implementation of laws to protect wildlife and habitats based on scientific research showing a near fatal collapse in Salmon stocks and a very persuasive game angling lobby - who are powerful, well-financed and organized. Their argument is that catchment management, conservation, bag limiting and catch and release are the best way to manage Salmon stocks. They also point out that a Salmon caught on rod and line bring far more revenue into the local community than those caught commercially. Even though the Government created a hardship fund (known as a net buyout fund) so that Salmon drift net fishermen would cease fishing and hand over their nets, to date no Salmon fishermen have received compensation due to the Government dragging the issue out. A number of Salmon Anglers in the Southwest of Ireland have threatened to defy the ban by putting nets back into the water. Recently a Basking Shark was washed ashore this month entangled in a drift net - the fishermen deny that the net is a drift net. So tensions remain high between Government and fishermen. And what is at stake is the very future of the Atlantic Salmon of Ireland. For more information on the wonderful work of Vincent Hyland, please visit his website at www.VincentHyland.com.
