  • Australia's Neptune Islands are a popular tourist location for cage diving due to the high number of great whites migrating through the area. With the onset of lockdown reducing almost all human activity on the water, shark researchers use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to collect as much data as possible to determine how the pandemic has affected the ocean's biggest predators.

      Not really because the posh pr**ks are still allowed to hunt 🤷‍♀️ fisherman still fishing and what money was brought into zoos and safaris to help feed animals has stopped.

    The waters can’t be shark infested because the sharks live there. The waters are human infested😡

      Honestly, you kind of aren’t wrong. 2020 saw a lot of shark attacks and fatalities in Australia. We have also seen quite a lot of drownings, near drownings and wash-always this summer.
