[CKF Info] Kayak encounter with shark at Catalina Two Harbors yesterday 6/22

[Kevin Harris]

Jeff:

It may be that there are simply MORE of the GW sharks off our coast,  
after years of increasing supplies of local prey (Marine Mammal  
Protection Act) and protection for themselves as well. But here is  
something I learned while producing my podcast, Shark Conspiracies:   
The great white sharks off our coast here are DIFFERENT than the ones  
in say, S. Africa or Australia. They are genetically slightly  
different, as we now know their populations do not mingle, and  
second, the ones here are better fed. This is indicated by the fact  
that the liver size to body mass ratio is much higher in our local  
GWs verses the others, and one theory is that this, in part, explains  
why so many GW encounters here seem to be test bites or bumps rather  
than full-on predatory strikes that you see off of S. Africa or  
Australia.

Sincerely,
Kevin Harris
