On our extensive barrier reef, gray reef sharks are common, and in the wetlands nurse sharks and lemon sharks (often juveniles) can be spotted.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-country-has-the-most-shark-attacks\"><\/span>What country has the most shark attacks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The United States<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-great-white-sharks-in-mauritius\"><\/span>Is there great white sharks in Mauritius?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>White Sharks have been recorded in Mauritius (see below for reference examples in the literature), although this is the first account, to our knowledge, of a diving encounter in that area. Enjoy and dream!!! Accounts of Great White Shark encounters in remote areas help the global conservation of White Sharks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-sharks-come-closer-to-the-shore-at-night\"><\/span>Do sharks come closer to the shore at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do Sharks Come to Shore at Night? Sharks are more active at dawn and dusk, choosing these times to hunt their nearshore prey. Due to an ingenious adaptation, sharks can maximize the available light to get an even greater advantage over their prey. They, therefore, choose to hunt when visibility is poor.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-shallow-will-sharks-swim\"><\/span>How shallow Will sharks swim?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>And that&#39;s fine.
