Protecting the Basking Shark against bycatch with Jean-Luc Solandt from Marine Conservation Society- Episode 18
After a little break we're back again as we gear up for another basking shark season!
Following a chat at the excellent Basking Shark Symposium, we chat to Jean-Luc Solandt from the Marine Conservation Society.
We chat about his work getting the basking shark protected from a loop hole that allowed them to be caught and landed under bycatch. Following an incident where a basking shark was caught in the Bay of Biscay, landed in Milford Haven, then transported to Bordeaux in France to be sold!
Jean-Luc now works in MPA's and we have a chat about basking shark protection, migrations and the usual tangents on all things basking shark.
Oh and find out why his favourite fish is a titan triggerfish!
