Basking shark NEA sampling sites and inter-annual, genetically confirmed re-encounters. Approximate basking shark sampling sites (red circles) from the Northeast Atlantic collected 2009–2014, including the Moray Firth (MF) and common aggregation sites around Ireland (IRE, IRE_12), Scotland (SCO) and the Isle of Man (IoM). (a–c) Locations of the seven inter-annual, genetically-confirmed re-encounters (see Table 1). The map was created in ArcGIS v.10 (http://www.esri.com/arcgis/about-arcgis), bathymetry reproduced from GEODAS (Geophysical Data system) Grid Translator developed by the National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). (d) Image of basking shark mucus sampling off the North Coast of Ireland. Photo credit: S. Berrow.
