GREG: The water's super deep.

352
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.080
We can't use a spotter plane
to find them,

353
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.440
because the sharks get down
a few feet and we can't see 'em.

354
00:19:03.520 --> 00:19:05.400
So in order to get 'em,
we got to entice 'em.

355

temperature average

794

the '80s, the '90s, 2000, 2010s.

Look at that shift

white sharks are likely

800

spend more time here,

underneath the surface,

as soon as you hit
about 50 meters,

808

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:56.080
Um, this year there were
78 of them, 78 individuals,

859
00:42:56.160 --> 00:42:58.160
which is the most
we have seen in Canada

860
00:42:58.240 --> 00:42:59.840
since we started monitoring.

861
00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:01.200
MEGAN: That's crazy.

862
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:04.120
Off of Cape Cod we detected 120,

863
00:43:04.200 --> 00:43:06.320
if that puts this
in perspective at all.

864
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:08.960
That's a lot
of activity up here.

865
00:43:09.040 --> 00:43:12.680
NARRATOR: It's evidence Canada
is a white shark hot spot,

866
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:16.200
particularly for
inexperienced juvenile sharks.

867
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:20.960
And may explain why Canada
witnessed its first shark bite

868
00:43:21.040 --> 00:43:22.960
in 150 years.

869
00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:25.480
GREG: It's been
a phenomenal year for me.

870
00:43:25.560 --> 00:43:28.080
If you asked me a few years ago,

871
00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:30.160
what do you think about
white sharks in Canada?

872
00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:31.960
I'd say yes, they go there,

873
00:43:32.040 --> 00:43:37.360
but I didn't realize the,
the presence of these animals.

874
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:39.200
These sharks are spreading out

875
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:42.360
almost throughout
Canadian waters.

876
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:45.320
This is an ancient animal.

877
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:47.080
It's been around
for millions of years.

878
00:43:47.160 --> 00:43:49.840
It's a survivor
because it can adapt,

879
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:52.480
and it will continue to adapt.

880
00:43:52.560 --> 00:43:55.440
We're going to keep seeing
white sharks off Canada,

881
00:43:55.520 --> 00:43:58.200
and quite possibly
we'll see more.
