Great video for a great cause. It is sad, but the average Croatian knows little about sharks and conservation in particular. They see sharks as a menace rather than the important role players they are in the sea. I would love to participate in shark conservation in Croatia. What a great cause.

@furyofthestorm I think that's what the camera man is looking for. The closer you are to the shark, the best the documentary!

Great Whites have been spotted by Locals following behind those ocean traveling cruiseliners that visit the Adria. Great Whites can't survive in the Adria unless they start feeding on shark conservationists^^ Those White Sharks that have been seen leave the Adria a few days later with the big cruiseliners. The reason why they follow them is because fish swim underneath these sea cruiseliners that feed on the food left-overs which are being released into the waters.

An area that is not researched is White Sharks on the West coast of Africa, I am talking about from Namibia to Morocco and everything in between

@furyofthestorm A shark has no arms, it taste, feel and investigate with its snout and mouth. Most people dying from a shark attack(worldwide its between 3 and 5 each year) die because of bloodloss, not because they where eaten. Bloodloss because they chew to investigate what you are.

@vukBBB then you don,t know what your saying years ago there was aman and his son just close by rimmini italy who caught a bleu shark tide its to his boat when a white shark attacked the blue shark hanging of his boat he was 5 meters plus and better stil it was on film aired by bbc sbs6 and more channels but nobody likes to say its not good for italian beach tourists

@vukBBB I could come to the Red Triangle in Cali, Guadalupe Island in Baja Mexico, or Shark Alley in South Africa. Are white sharks really that rare. Oh, and Malta and Sicily in the Mediterranean.

@furyofthestorm not exactly to the camera, but they hand feed the sharks, which they get used to and start going for things held out by humans. This is why hand feeding is bad, it gives the impression humans are a food source

[furyofthestorm]

@jontywhiter ahh that would make alot more sense, so they attatch bait to the camera so they go towards it and stuff? fair.

[jontywhiter]

@furyofthestorm Thats because they bait the sharks in, it makes them go into feeding mode
