Basking Shark sighting Persian Gulf!! An alarming Situation

For last 3 years, Marine biologist are continuously seeing Basking shark in the Persian gulf, near militarybases.co/directory/al-udeid-air-force-base-in-doha-qatar/. Which is un usual. You have to remember, they cross the narrow cross near the UAE & Iran(Strait of Hormuz) to make it's way through. Scientist are saying, due to overfishing, they wander for food. And Persian and red sea has nutrient rich water. These visits are more common in March, April, September and October(mild seasons). Scientist are predicting more visiting in coming years. Thanks to government of Qatar, who are paying special attention by providing the funds to these biologists.
