The information was from the Turks themselves. It was forbidden to swim in some bays, which are the traditional spawning grounds for common sand sharks. These are not hotel beaches. And someone fanned the hysteria. And we are talking about a shark, which is considered quite harmless and does not attack a person. There were no attacks on people.

Finally, the Russian Union of Tourism Industry did not confirm information about dangerous sharks in the area of the resorts of Bodrum and Marmaris. The PR director of one of the travel agencies said that a flock of sand sharks comes to spawn in one of the bays of Marmaris every year at about the same time. These sharks are small and do not attack people. On the contrary, the mayor of the city specifically closed one of the beaches to protect these fish from people.

There are sharks in the Mediterranean Sea. For doubters - look for information about sand sharks. But there were no cases of shark attacks on people in Turkey. Till.

of course I have! but never in your life Turks will tell you that sharks attack someone. And the sand shark, for your information, is ranked 7th out of the 10 most dangerous sharks on our planet, and the Mediterranean Sea is not the safest. Just do not bother yourself .. swim in the beach areas, do not swim far and everything will be OK. After all, people swim in Australia and Brazil and Mexico, although these regions are the most dangerous. Be careful and good luck to you all!

There are no sharks in the Mediterranean Sea because the water is too cold for them, and if they are there, the sharks will be on the reefs, but of course people don’t swim there, that’s all !!!

The mediterranean sea is full of shark people!!! There is even a Big White if that! Take a look at her habitat if you don't mind the time. But here they practically do not swim to the coast of Turkey. Fine, but too warm, you know!

Five days ago we walked along the pier in the Antalya port and saw a fisherman who urgently cut off the fins of a freshly caught fish .... they came closer, and this is a small shark)) they asked to take a picture, he reluctantly agreed and after that he hastily chopped off her head and threw it into the sea )) after this "tuning" the shark was no different from an ordinary harmless fish))) I can send a photo to those who are hesitant))) They asked where he caught it, he says far from the coast ... he had a boat without a motor ... think for yourself))) everyone for now))

Yes, people are stupid and drunk, or just too lazy to read the information about the habitat of sharks. for lazy infa, on the entire coast of the Black Sea there are many different types of sharks and quite a few attacks come through the strait and big whites in Abkhazia in 2007 after resting while swimming in the open sea

The Mediterranean Sea is the headquarters of sharks. There are 50 types here. 20 of them are deadly to humans.
Among them is Belaya 6m, her sister is a "twin" (only an ichthyologist will distinguish) the Mako shark 6m (unlike the white shark, it does not consider human flesh not tasty and if it bites a person in half, it will not spit out like a white one, but will eat it to the end) (it also flashes from water to a height of 6 meters). There are also brindle 3-4m, bullish 4m, etc. Sandy 3m are bred near Marmaris (swim to Bodrum) Due to the abundance of tuna, large sharks in the Mediterranean prefer it. therefore, in 100 years, there were only 21 deaths from sharks in Turkey. But if there are fewer tuna, or if they swim to the beach... think for yourself...

Where does the information about 21 deaths from sharks in Turkey come from, what nonsense, 21 are all over the Mediterranean Sea, and in Greece there are 10 or 11 deaths, in Turkey only one incident with a great white shark was recorded - in 1930 it poked its muzzle into a boat out of curiosity and went about her business. The last attacks - the death of two surfers off the island of Kos in 1981, the last attack without a fatal outcome - the bite of a surfer in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Italy in 1984.

Damn, I'm already tired of climbing resources and warning people about sanity. Shark fox. herring. the hammer. blue. and sometimes a great white one comes through the Bosporus Strait. and the salinity of the water and the thickness of the water to saturation of hydrogen sulfide do not interfere with them. These types of sharks live and often visit the Black Sea and no matter which coast. I have been diving for 17 years and meetings with the above species occur periodically. just be careful under and above the water!!!

last August, my group and I dived off the coast of Gagra to a sunken boat and just happened to meet a shark, I really can’t determine exactly what kind it was, but it looked like a herring one. It’s 140 meters from the beach, and think for yourself. After all, pleasure boats take tourists out to swim in the open sea!!!
