Summer of sharks: Why has NZ seen so many near our shores this season?

Shark sightings have dominated Kiwi headlines this summer, with Surf Life Saving New Zealand recording several dozen reports over the holiday period.   While some may view this as summer hysteria, the sightings did prompt water evacuations at certain beaches, and one woman suffered significant injuries to her leg after being attacked by a shark while walking through an estuary.   So is global warming playing a hand in bringing these sharks close to shore, and what, if anything, can Kiwi water users do to keep safe?  Today on The Front Page, shark scientist Dr Riley Elliott joins to discuss the sightings and what we get wrong when talking about these sea creatures.   Host: Katie HarrisSound Engineer: Paddy FoxProducer: Ethan SillsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
