MedSharks and CTS Ambiente join forces and launch Operazione Squalo Elefante (Operation Basking Shark).
The gentle giant of our seas shows up along the Italian coastline at the end of winter, in a totally unpredictable way. Seeing this animal is very rare, although it can be up to 10 meters long.

The main objectives of Operazione Squalo Elefante are:
- to create the first image databank of Mediterranean basking shark
- to tag sharks both with conventional and PAT tags, which are electronic "chips" that allow to track the animal along its migration route once they leave Italian waters.
