First ever great white shark filmed in Mediterranean
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
A male great white shark has been filmed in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia, marking what is believed to be the first ever footage of an adult great white in its natural habitat in these waters. The rare encounter occurred as divers were recovering ghost nets from a shipwreck, kilometres offshore. The 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.
