Nearly three years after a female basking shark was tagged with a satellite transmitter at Malin Head, the northernmost point of Ireland, she happened to be photographed at Nauset Beach, Massachusetts. The event marks the second-ever recorded observation of trans-Atlantic movement of the species, according to a study from Queen's University Belfast and Western University in Ontario, published in the Journal of Fish Biology in October.
