A RANGE OF new types of sharks could soon be heading for Irish waters because of warming seas.
New research has forecast that 10 species of sharks, including great hammerheads and longfin makos, that are currently found in warmer parts of the world could be swimming off the coast of Ireland and Britain within 30 years.
Dr Ken Collins, from the University of Southampton, said: “It’s likely we will be seeing more sharks spread from warmer regions such as the Mediterranean Sea towards our waters over the next 30 years.
These include the likes of blacktips, sand tigers and hammerheads, which are currently found swimming off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
Dr Collins added that while new species of shark may he heading this way the overall number of sharks, particularly larger ones such as basking sharks, will fall as a result of over-fishing, plastic waste and climate change.
“It’s really important we work together to prevent a premature extinction of these wonderful creatures,” he added.
The research was commissioned to mark Nat Geo WILD’s week-long “Sharkfest” of TV programming this week.
A spokesman for Nat Geo WILD said sharks had been portrayed for too long in a one-dimensional way, as terrifying predators, and Sharkfest aimed to reveal the “true awe-inspiring nature of sharks”.

Great idea! Good luck Ciara and Theya Lingerie
Fair play
Brest of luck
They are absolutely gorgeous, and they look supportive , with soft lines, I have been looking up , some surgical bra’s in case i need them, and there’s nothing like this lovely range.
But the name is a complete rip off from Don O Neills huge label THEIA, someone is trying to align themselves with his brand if u ask me, the neck of some people
Theia Couture is dresses, not lingerie. There’s also a lingerie brand called Freya. Some words sound the same, that’s unfortunately how language works sometimes. Back in your box.
Have you tried Secrets in Lace? Very nice. Find lingerie gallery at http://LingerieAddicted.com/
Best of luck, Ciara.
The company was originally called “Isis Rose” but had to change it (for what should probably be pretty self-evident reasons), there was an article on The Journal a few months ago about it, so at the very least for your “rip-off” point, she’d have had to have chosen “Theya” from the outset…
