Basking sharks are often mistaken for great white sharks
Note: The basking shark and great white shark shown here are represented at a scale of 25.5 feet and 13.5 feet, respectively; Infographic: Maura Losch/Axioswhen seen from above water. Both are known to swim near the ocean surface with their dorsal fin visible, but there are some key differences in appearance.A great white shark will have a more pointed fin with a sharp tip. The back edge may be torn or jagged.
"Try to determine if it is a shark or another finned friend like a dolphin or porpoise," Haulsee says. "Dolphins will surface briefly to breathe and then swim back under the water, whereas the fin of a shark swimming at the surface will remain out of the water." "If you believe it is a shark, remain calm and slowly swim back to shore or your boat, keeping your eyes on the fin if possible."Haulsee says, "Remember that healthy ecosystems require a balance of predators and prey, so while we may fear sharks, we need to respect their important role as the top of the food chain to ensure the health of our oceans."Share on linkedin
