Scientists say sharks seen off Maine are likely basking sharks, not great whites If indeed the biggest one was 25 feet long, it likely was a harmless plankton-eater, experts say.

Basking sharks often visit the Gulf of Maine to feed on plankton... and get mistaken for great whites just as frequently.#12DaysofFishmas #harmless #sharks #lookalike #CBASS #GMRI

Fun with fins! Our friend the longhorn sculpin has lots of options to help it scurry along the seafloor #CBASS #GMRI

Menhaden are in town! It's not often we see them this far north. This one was caught off Higgins Beach. #CBASS #GMRI

Presumpscot River Alewives Each spring, alewives migrate up coastal brooks and rivers from the Gulf of Maine to spawn in their natal ponds. This massive concentration of ocean fish coming into freshwater is a great boon the inshore and riverine ecosystems, providing highly caloric meals for every predator that can get their mouths around them, from eagles, to seals, to raccoons. Humans, too, get in on the action and use alewives as bait for lobsters and halibut, and even eat them smoked as a traditional snack. Alewife numbers have declined in recent years, but our monitoring efforts on local rivers ensure that the best available science is used by managers.

Get up close and personal with the Presumpscot River alewife run in this quick video:#RiverRestoration #CBASS #GMRI

This robin stowed away on our latest herring acoustic survey. It was disappointed by the lack of worms. #CBASS #GMRI

The #CBASS crew must be telling some fish stories... & gathering the last samples of summer while they're out. #GMRI

Small fish make a big difference to #CBASS, like this juvenile silverside we sampled with a seine net. #GMRI

CBASS: Basking Shark off Maine Coast What happens when GMRI scientists conduct ecosystem research in our Casco Bay Aquatic Systems Survey (CBASS)? Many surprising discoveries, but none quite as unexpected as this gentle giant. Adam Baukus captured a 20+ foot basking shark feeding just a few miles off the coast of Cape Elizabeth, ME. I think we're going to need a bigger boat... Learn more about CBASS here: http://www.gmri.org/our-work/research/projects/casco-bay-ecosystem-monitoring-corridor

A surprising discovery on the #GMRI boat recently while collecting data for #CBASS: we found a 20ft+ basking shark!
