Great White Sharks “Already in the UK” as They Head Further North, Expert Warns

A marine expert has warned that great white sharks could already be present in UK waters, with climate-driven warming encouraging the species to move north. While Britain has had occasional, long-debated reports of great whites, confirmed sightings have been rare. The warning ties to wider evidence that ocean temperature shifts are changing shark migration routes and distributions. With seals available in UK waters, researchers say conditions may be suitable—though more solid proof is still needed.
