People believe what they want to believe. My brother found a blobby "sea monster" on a beach, insists it's a plesiosaur. I brought the vertebrae to an icthyologist, he said it's a basking shark....my brother still insists it's a sea monster conspiracy.

Yesterday, an unfortunate 7m-long basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) was caught by trammel nets in Port de la Selva (NE Spain), close to shore. Sightings of this species start to be more frequent along the Catalan Coast at this time of the year, likely driven by ++[phytoplankton] in the region.

A basking shark was spotted floating in the water. Initially mistaken for a Great White Shark, further examination of underwater footage revealed it to be a Cetorhinus:
