What Is Shark Week?
Shark Week happens every year in July. It’s a full week of non-stop shark-themed programming on the Discovery Channel.
It all started in the 1980s after the hit movie Jaws was released. That movie series spurred a huge fear of sharks, and people started to hunt them.
In order to protect the misunderstood sharks, The Discovery Channel decided to air and promote educational documentaries and shows about sharks.
And the rest (as they say) is history.
