Publisher's Synopsis
In May of 2015, Tropical Storm Ana ravaged the southeastern United States and inadvertently trapped a large Great White shark in a small inlet near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Presented with this unique opportunity, executives from the struggling zoological park known as SeaLand opted to attempt what was previously thought impossible: the capture and permanent housing of the ocean's most notorious apex predator. Through expert interviews and eyewitness testimony, The SeaLand Incident: The Story Behind One Zoo's Infamous Attempt to House a Great White Shark documents the complex legal and technical hurdles of keeping a monster shark in captivity, as well as the tragic accident that forced the attraction to close for good.
