The movie Jaws has had a lasting impact on the way people perceive great white sharks. And with the work of catching, tagging and tracking these animals, US-based Ocearch is showing us they are no strangers to Atlantic Canada. But there's more to learn about the world's largest predatory fish that have been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Vanessa Schiliro is a Marine Biology student at Dalhousie University. She's watched as the sightings and increased attention have stoked fears of the white sharks and have made some people jittery about getting into the water. That's why she's created a video and an infographic about shark-smart tips. It's to keep both species safe by busting myths and offering some guidelines around sharing the ocean with these endangered animals.
