There are over 400 species of sharks in the world’s oceans, with the majority either living in the Atlantic Ocean or using it as part of the migratory route. Even though the Atlantic has the most sharks, the Pacific and Indian Ocean waters are often considered “shark-infested” due to the larger amount of shark attacks that occur. South Africa, which has coasts on both the Atlantic and Pacific waters is one of the most prolific locations for sharks in the world.
