Along the sandy beaches of southern California, researchers are locating a resurgence of great white sharks, appearing in greater numbers than anyone has seen before. Researchers say these sharks don’t pose a real risk to humans. While the great white sharks inspire fear (thanks “Jaws”), by all scientific accounts, attacks on people are extremely rare. The vast majority of victims survive. Worldwide, there are fewer than 10 fatal white shark attacks each year. As researchers use advanced technology to track these iconic, historic species, they are also trying to solve a great mystery. Why have so many have appeared, and what does it mean for the future of the species, and the ocean?
