"NatGeo's SharkFest Reveals the Northward Migration of Great White Sharks"

Great white sharks are increasingly being spotted in northern waters, including off the coasts of Canada and New England. A new National Geographic show called "Shark Below Zero" explores the factors behind this shift, including the abundance of seals, the sharks' favorite prey. The seal population has grown significantly in recent decades due to conservation efforts. The increase in shark sightings is also attributed to the recovery of the great white shark population, which had declined by around 80% in the 20th century. Climate change is expected to further impact the geographic range of white sharks as ocean temperatures warm. The show premieres on Disney+ and Hulu on July 2.
