New Zealand has its own distinctive collection of sharks/mangō occupying a number of different habitats ranging from the shores, to the open ocean, to the depths of the continental slope.
New Zealand is recognised as one of the world’s hot spots for great white sharks, along with the waters off California (US), South Africa, Australia and Japan.
