The world's deadliest sharks could soon be heading to British waters.
The world's deadliest sharks could be heading for British waters
Experts believe that it is only a matter of time before great white sharks are spotted in the UK as climate change raises the temperature of the water around the British Isles.
The species currently found in the UK are harmless but marine biologist Ryan Johnson is convinced that the situation will soon change with sharks migrating from European seas.
He told the Daily Mirror: "I would urge every British shark fan to keep their eyes peeled, because sooner or later they are going to see a great white in British waters.
"The theory is that a lot of people are working with is that, as climate change comes, warmer waters are going to reach up to the UK.
"Because there is a great white population in the Mediterranean and around Spain, that population will be able to extend up to English waters.
"How quickly that will happen we don't know, but throughout the world we have started to see distribution changes in many shark species."
