Great to see them back
The bay was once the location of the largest Basking Shark fishery in the World – with over 9,000 sharks caught there-between 1950 and 1964.
Over the years, overfishing and a lack of understanding of the shark’s life cycle led to a critical reduction in their numbers worldwide.
In recent years however, Achill Tourism said the number of sightings has increased substantially.
