Show Notes
A marine biologist made the news after saying he wants to meet the shark who bit his face again, and it's prompted a debate about sharks.
Shark attacks have sparked safety concerns about the ocean's leading apex predator, but one expert has been quick to label the fear around sharks 'sensationalised'.
Marine biologist and Shark Week presenter Dr Riley Elliott says people kill more sharks on average per year - and they should be more afraid of us.
