lots of sharks in the med. not so many in the eastern med since the aswan damn was built
it stopped the flow of the nile from carrying all the nutrients into the eastern med, hence the barren wasteland that is our sea today. plus, we like to kill everything in sight with our spear-guns and nets.
there was a great white sighted off ladies mile about 20 years ago, big panic. i was living in zakaki at the time and the people went nuts
adriatic sea is a breeding ground for great white sharks. google it and you will get a lot of info. check out the picture of the great white caught off italy a few years ago.
