The novel, Jaws by Peter Benchley, and the 1975 movie, cemented the Great White’s man-eater reputation. The Great White is responsible for more attacks on people than any other species of shark. Ten shark related fatalities were reported worldwide, six in Australian waters in 2020, an unusually deadly year.

Despite this negative attention, as a top predator, these sharks play a key role in keeping our oceans healthy, their preferred diet consists of fish, whales, turtles and seals. Great Whites are listed as vulnerable and are protected in Australian waters, with numbers declining – which could be linked to increased shark fishing.
