The Basking Shark lives in the coastal to pelagic in boreal warm-temperatures and insular shelves <ref name=sharkbio/>. These can be offshore as well as very close to land, sometimes just off the surf and even at the inlets of bays <ref name=sharkbio/>. They are known to live in deeper waters in lower latitudes with a known range of 0-1870 ft in depth <ref name=sharkbio/>. They are normally seen in surface waters, but are primarily midwater inhabitants<ref name=sharkbio/>. They will surface when the water conditions and food conditions are favorable <ref name=sharkbio/>. | The Basking Shark lives in the coastal to pelagic in boreal warm-temperatures and insular shelves <ref name=sharkbio/>.
