The hunt has attracted the attention of scientists and curious people around the world. Those interested in the story of the Loch Ness monster hope this search will solve the mystery that has been controversial for nearly a century.
About 100 volunteers are searching for signs of life on the shores of the lake, while a similar group will monitor the area remotely via four monitors set up around the lake. Researchers have decided to use the latest technology, from diving devices equipped with thermal scanners, ships equipped with infrared cameras, to underwater recorders.

Thermal scanners could play a key role in identifying any unusual movement in the depths of the loch, said Alan McKenna, co-organiser of the Loch Ness Expedition.
In addition, underwater recorders will allow the research team to hear sounds that may come from the legendary monster nicknamed Nessie.
Loch Ness is one of the largest lakes in Scotland, more than 230 m deep and stretching over 37 km. The legend of the Loch Ness monster dates back to ancient times. The story of the monster in the lake became widely known in 1933 when the Scottish press reported a photo of a "prehistoric monster". This news sparked a series of investigations, most of which proved the photo to be a hoax.
According to the Loch Ness Centre in Drumnadrochit, there are now more than 1,100 records describing the Loch Ness monster. The legend of the legendary monster also helps Scotland earn millions of pounds each year from tourism and visiting Loch Ness.
