Where around SBH would one be likely to see this guy? If I ran into him at Saline or Gouveneur or Lorient, I think I'd fly out of the water!
they generally do not come close to shore...they need high concentrations of plankton which is far and few in the Caribbean but mostly on offshore currents....
we get them and basking sharks a lot in our harbor but our harbor is plankton soup much of the year....basking sharks have an identical dorsal fin as a Great White, so the local kids like to freak out tourists and jump in the water when they see a fin and are all freaking out over its fin, thinking its a GWS
Until the day it IS a Great White....
