Sharks are not very interested in people, said Hueter, noting there have been very few encounters leading to injuries in Canada. GSMP scientists have been tagging and tracking blue, tiger, whale, white, silky and bull sharks in the rich, deep waters between southeast Africa and Madagascar. The largest blue shark ever caught in UK seas weighed a whopping 256lbs (116kg) and measured over 9ft. It was tagged by scientists when it was last spotted of the coast of Mexico more than 20. They even feed on fish that live near the seabed and have been recorded at depths of up to 350m. The predator nicknamed Deep Blue and estimated to be 50-years-old weighs in at 2.5 tons. "You have to think like a shark, and you have to remember that the ocean is a wild place, not a swimming pool," he said.

Staying safe With the Guy Harvey Research tracking tool, you can track sharks of all kinds. "They had several encounters with, likely, the same shark," said Harvey-Clark. There was another encounter earlier this week, this time involving a charter boat with a dozen divers in the water. This is a deep-water species that normally lives offshore in deep blue water, but. "The shark came in from deep water, had a look at her, she threw up her arms, and it turned around and hightailed it out of there," he said. This eight-foot-long shark is one of the most-common sharks in Hawai‘i but is rarely seen by divers or swimmers. Earlier this month a solo diver saw one in St. Scarring and other markings can also aid in identification.Īnd Harvey-Clark isn't the only one spotting sharks off the South Shore. Individual sharks can be identified by unique markings on their pelvic fins. Harvey-Clark will be using the pictures he took to develop a tool for identifying individual sharks. Halifax-based shark researcher, diver and veterinarian at Dalhousie University Chris Harvey-Clark is hearing about more great white shark sightings.
