We are aware that our protection of white sharks and Seals has led to a large increase of both Species.

Some of these sharks will migrate through New England waters right into Canada.

Last year when a swimmer in Maine was attacked and killed by a white shark it prompted Maine to install 30 hydrophone buoys along its coast this summer to detect tagged white sharks.

When the results of that buoy information are released I believe both Maine and Nova Scotia will be surprised at the number of tagged white sharks swimming around. And remember untagged sharks can't ping any hydrophone buoy and they greatly outnumber the tagged sharks

As I say; if it wasn't for our ocean cold water ,and people could spend more time in the water, we would have more interactions...encounters..attacks by white sharks.-Tom

Whoriskey says it’s possible that a shark could have mistaken a person in the water for food.

No, you ARE food.

“She looked like a seal. Honest.”

The other day I was talking to a white shark biologist friend who to me knows more about these sharks than anyone.

When I asked him if in the future if he would look at an article I was going to write that disputed this always a "mistaken identity" excuse, and I gave my reasons. He astounded me when he agreed; and gave different reasons, and he brought up things I hadn't thought about.

I won't mention them here, as I know how some of the "Publish or Perish biologists" steal other peoples work and ideas to get GRANTS and Publishing credits.

“No mention of global warming causing warming oceans allowing sharks to be that far north’”

*****

Taken a little farther, it’s the Earth’s revenge on humans manifesting itself in the shark.

It’s like Gaia, the planet’s consciousness, is moving the weather and the animals to extract vengeance.

I call it the “Remember the Dodo” theory.

Attacks in Canadian waters are rare because few people venture out in the freezing cold waters.

“No mention of global warming causing warming oceans allowing sharks to be that far north.”

I remember a shark book I read many years ago relating a story of a 35ft white shark that got tangled in a herring net off Nova Scotia. I don’t believe it’s that unusual. IIRC great whites are found in pretty much all oceans and and latitudes that have open water.
