Footage captured by a diver shows a rare sighting of a great white shark in the Mediterranean Sea, spotted between Tunisia and Sicily. Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/user/guardianwires?sub_confirmation=1 The sighting happened during a mission, organised by NGO Healthy Seas Foundation in partnership with Ghost Diving and The Society for Documentation of Submerged Sites, to remove abandoned fishing nets in the strait of Sicily. Healthy Seas, which removes rubbish from seas, said the video is believed to be the first underwater footage captured of an adult great white shark in the Mediterranean in its natural habitat. The species has come close to extinction in the region, thought by Healthy Seas to be due to threats such as overfishing. The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
