Great white sharks have disappeared from some of South Africa's most famous shark hotspots, but the reason may not be as simple as the popular story suggests. In this episode, Chris Fallows returns to talk about orcas, white sharks, shark nets, longline fisheries, and the uncomfortable possibility that humans played a much larger role than many people want to admit. This conversation looks beyond the headline of orcas hunting great whites and asks a harder question: what happens when we focus on the predator we cannot control while ignoring the human systems we can? From False Bay to Gansbaai to the broader South African coastline, this episode explores how shark conservation, fisheries, tourism, photography, and public storytelling collide when an iconic predator starts to vanish.
