David is a behavioural ecologist specialising in tracking the movements and behaviour of ocean predators to understand how they will respond to natural and human-induced change. In this podcast he talks about the detailed study of basking shark circling behaviour that he led off the West coast of Ireland.
This podcast builds on David's article, 'Basking shark circles' that appeared in the January edition of The Marine Biologist, the magazine for members of the Marine Biological Association.
It's always a pleasure to listen to David share his decades of knowledge about how and why sharks do what they do. So tune in, sit back and come away knowing a lot more about the lives of these magnificent predators.
Professor David Sims is a Senior Research Fellow at the MBA where he leads the Movement Ecology and Conservation of Ocean Predators research group
