A video posted on social media yesterday, Tuesday, shows a great white shark swimming off the coast of Gammarth, in the capital. The video has sparked controversy and raised concerns among internet users.
Appearing this morning on Mosaïque Fm, Samira Najjar, a researcher at the National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies, stated that the video is evidence of the excellent health of the marine ecosystem and proves that the great white shark is still present in the Mediterranean Sea.
She clarified that the shark was at a depth of between 35 and 40 meters, about 3 miles (between 6 and 7 kilometers) off the coast.
She added that the presence of the great white shark is a natural and healthy phenomenon that should not cause concern, emphasizing that the shark moves to hunt its prey but also to explore feeding and breeding areas.
