What happened to the thread about sharks in the Adriatic? I am waiting for Emizzz to respond. Anna-if you are moderating, why take this off and not ll of the rest of the 'garbage' he/she gets involved in? I don't know what was posted before but speaking of sharks!!! Have you heard about all the attacks in the USA.... that is scary. Who would dare to put their foot into the sea there. I have never heard of any shark attacks along our coast nor the Italian, Greek coast? Has anyone heard of attacks along our coast?

I have never heard of a shark attack in Croatia, but there are sharks in the adriatic that is 100%, I have seen them with my own eyes and Great whites have been seen there, not by me but they have, check online.

The reason I deleted the entire thread was because I objected to the poster that started the thread. In the past couple of weeks he/she has posted several messages under a variety of names about:
- It's better not to go to the Croatian islands at all, and to go to Greece (in response to someone with a travel enquiry - that may be their opinion but it really doesn't help!) - There's a risk of ammonium leak in Croatia and millions could die - In reponse to their own question, to avoid stolen property in Croatia you should only go to Istria, but not to Pula, Porec and Rovinj
So, by all means discuss shark sightings, but methinks the original poster has an ulterior motive.

Anna-OK. I hear you. I didn't have any other motives that to figure out what was going on in the Adriatic. I will be there in August and will watch carefully just as I do here in the 'states'. Looking forward to a memorable vacation in Croatia. Ciao for now!

Of course not Ribaric, you're not dodgy in the slightest! It's usually names that have never appeared before, asking slightly peculiar questions, or making strange comments. Of course, on the General Travel Board, you do get a lot of new names popping up all the time as new people come to the board and ask things, but that's understandable. American Woman: it's okay, I didn't think you had any other motives at all, please feel free to carry on the discussion if you wish. (I'm sorry about removing the other messages in the thread.)

The great white was last seen in 70's. And that is so rare. It's a larger possibility that you die of thurst in Alps then to become a victim of a sharkattack in Croatina part of Adriatic. there are some Modrulj sharks aroun Kornati and some remote islands but thy are rare. Why dont you tell us when was the last shark attack in Croatia???

Why would I do that? I already said I didn't know about the shark attacks here, however I have seen seriously large sharks off the coast of Sibenik. Even on a jetski where I was too fast for it, it was terrifying. If you look online you will find that great white sharks regularly go into the Adriatic, most of the data shows them on the Italian side, but that doesn't make any sense, I would suggest that in Italian they just have better equipment to detect them.
Sicily is a great white breeding ground and that is not so far away from Southern Croatia.
I wouldn't want to scare anybody, but I think sharks are starting to realise that we can't hurt them when one on one and starting to view us as food, not in Croatia, specifically but all around the world.
I think it is just a matter of time, before somebody takes their yacht a couple of miles out and jumps in the water and never gets back out..

The bolde qoute shows how ignorant (or you just pretend to be) are. We are talking about Adriatic sea not Mediteranium see in general. take a Map and see in wich sea is Sicily. And your talk about big sharks is ridisule. I said there are som Modrulji around kornati and some remote islands but they are not so big and rarely attack people. Also if you remember that there was a shark who eats only planktons and was caught in Croatia last summer. It was gigantic and somone lik you could misstake it for great white. You are talking stupidities.

You’re the ignorant one, especially in your usage of the English language.
In the grand scheme of things, Sicily is not far from Southern Croatia, there are no border crossings, no mountains to stop them, they swim and there they are.
I didn’t see that I seen a great white shark, I said I seen a big shark, if you want to jump in the water and test if it eats meat or plankton, be my guest.
THERE IS ABSOULTELY NO DOUBT THAT GREAT WHITES ARE KNOWN TO BE IN THE ADRIATIC, LOOK ON GOOGLE, I could easily find a link, but I don’t feel like it.

The biggest shark in the world is the least dangerous. The whale shark. Could swallow a vw beetle whole if it wasn't for the fact that it has a fine 'mesh' of teeth that only filter through plankton and the like. Lets all try and remember that it is us that invades the home of the shark and not the other way around. The shark doesn't think about us as being harmful or otherwise. It just thinks about food ! If they started walking out of the water and biting people at cafes, then i would start to be concerned. All around the world, driving a car, air travel, crossing the road, eating in restaurants, using power tools, climbing a ladder, smoking and drinking alcohol, cause far more deaths than shark attacks ever will, and these are things most of us do every day. Strange how the press doesn't go around warning people of the dangers of crossing the road !

What does that prove??? And you are ignorant. First Sicily isn't in Adriatic. If you know anything about great whites then you know that they feed with seals. Did you know that there is no Mediterranean seal( sredozemna Medvednica) in Adriatic? When was the last time that great white was seen in Adriatic??? Google it!

I'm struggling with your point, are you suggesting that sharks are aware of where the med ends and the Adriatic stops and billy the shark says to harry the shark, don't go down their guv, that’s out of bounds? Your other point, appears to be that great whites do not attack humans...ermm ok...I think there are a few families in Florida who wont agree. It's completly impossible to have a reasonable talk about Croatia with most Croats, they just get on the defensive even if nobody is attacking them.
