A group of sharks are being tracked by satellite off the west coast of Scotland to allow scientists to learn more about their behaviour.
Twenty basking sharks have been tagged by researchers from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and Exeter University in a project to find out more about their life-cycles.
The findings will help inform decisions about marine protected areas and the future management of the country's marine environment, according to SNH.
