Climate change draws great white sharks north

Issued on:

There never used to be young great white sharks basking off the busy beaches of central California, but as climate change starts to bite, warmer waters are enticing them north – with possibly catastrophic consequences for a whole ecosystem. "General temperature around this latitude has been going up and is expected to keep rising and so this is what is really, we think, driving the sharks' shift," explains marine ecologist Salvador Jorgensen.
