The Maine Department of Marine Resources says 26-foot male basking shark yesterday (Jan. 5) washed up on the shore of Greenland Cove in Bremen.
According to News Center Maine, the basking shark is the second-largest shark in the world and the largest shark that lives in the waters off New England. Studies are being done to determine how the shark died.
