“Are there sharks in the English Channel?”

Apparently yes, but casualties are low.

“According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF) there have only been two unprovoked shark attacks in England, since 1847, neither of which proved fatal.”

There are more than two dozen species of sharks in British waters, including the Channel.

I certainly hope so.

Probably a few sharks, but it’s the distance, water temperature, currents, and weather that would make it a challenge. Post flyers in the camp reading “How really badly do you want to get to England?”. There are certain to be a good number of geography challenged takers. And with Brexit coming, a side benefit would be an enhanced food supply for the Channel fish stocks in advance of British fishermen resuming their work in liberated British waters.
