The Discovery Network’s annual Shark Week is already underway and one of the new programs airing this year looks at great white sharks in Nova Scotia.
Premiering on Wednesday, July 10 is the documentary called Great White North.
It features researchers from Dalhousie along with other shark experts as they explore Nova Scotian waters to better understand great white populations in the area.
