First ever great white shark filmed in Mediterranean
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
A diver has captured what is believed to be the first ever footage of an adult great white shark in its natural habitat in the Mediterranean Sea. The male great white was encountered by divers recovering ghost nets from a shipwreck in waters between Sicily and Tunisia. The rare sighting is considered significant as overfishing has brought great white sharks to the brink of extinction in the Mediterranean, making this a sign of survival for the species rather than a cause for alarm.
