Shark Lockdown with Clarke Gayford

The global lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has quietened the oceans and is luring some of New Zealand's biggest great whites out of hiding. Marine filmmaker Clarke Gayford teamed up with shark expert Kina Scollay just off Stewart Island to find out where the big sharks - some as big as 5m long - are located and what are they doing here. The end result, Shark Lockdown, airs Sunday 29th November at 7:30pm on Discovery as part of its Shark Week coverage.
