Why California’s Red Triangle is the world's epicenter for shark encounters
In short: California's Red Triangle is a high-stakes convergence zone where great white sharks and humans frequently collide. This documentary explores the ecological drivers behind these attacks and what they reveal about predator behavior.
The Red Triangle is a specific coastal region stretching from Monterey Bay to Bodega Bay, extending out to the Farallon Islands. It is characterized by cold, wildlife-rich waters that serve as a primary meeting point for great white sharks, seals, sea lions, surfers, and divers.
By synthesizing survivor accounts, expert interviews, and shark research, the film examines the mechanics of these encounters. It looks specifically at hunting grounds, migration patterns, and the environmental factors that create a unique overlap between apex predators and human activity.
