Netflix is entering the shark content arena this summer with documentaries like Shark Whisperer and new series, challenging traditional cable giants like Discovery and Nat Geo, which are celebrating Shark Week and SharkFest. The programming includes a mix of conservation-focused content and sensational shark battles, with Netflix leveraging its global reach to influence perceptions and awareness about 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.
Great white sharks are increasingly being spotted in northern waters, including off the coasts of Canada and New England. A new National Geographic program called "Shark Below Zero" explores the reasons behind this shift. The abundance of seals, their favorite prey, and the recovery of shark populations due to conservation efforts are attracting the apex predators to these frigid waters. Climate change is also playing a role, as warming ocean temperatures are likely to alter the geographic range of white sharks. As the ocean continues to warm, white sharks are expected to move further north and stay in northern waters for longer, impacting the marine ecosystem. "Shark Below Zero" premieres on Disney+ and Hulu on July 2, and National Geographic on July 5.
