The surprising area that has become a great white shark HOTSPOT

Daily Mail  

A run of recent great white shark sightings has led to an area on New Zealand's North Island being called a shark 'hotspot'. A brave fisherman reels in shark before it suddenly burst from the waters and violently chomped on the bait in New Zealand 'In the last three years around the Bay of Plenty there's been a massive increase in human and great white shark encounters,' he told 9news.com.au. Dr Elliot hopes his study will shed light on why sharks are migrating to the area amid a general rise in worldwide shark attacks which some researchers have suggested is because more people are in the water. They were racing out to check on her welfare since she was so far out New Zealand's eight year run free from deadly shark attacks ended in January 2021 when a 19-year-old woman was suspected to have been killed by a shark at Waihi Beach in the Bay of Plenty.
