Great White Shark Found Dead on Haida Gwaii Beach

The rare discovery highlights potential shifts in marine life distribution due to climate change.

Canadian Fisheries Department confirmed the shark's species through tooth and tail fin analysis.
The male shark, measuring approximately 13.5 feet, had been feeding on seals, its common prey.
Great white sharks are uncommon in British Columbia waters, with only a few confirmed sightings historically.
Climate change is expected to increase the presence of great white sharks in B.C. waters over the coming decades.
Conservation officers have collected tissue samples to investigate the cause of the shark's death.
