An expert on the red triangle!!!!
The Red Triangle is the colloquial name of a roughly triangle-shaped region off the coast of northern California, extending from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, out to a bit beyond the Farallon Islands, and down to the Big Sur region, south of Monterey.
The area has a very large population of marine mammals, such as elephant seals and sea lions, which are a favored meal of great white sharks. It has also been estimated that of all documented great white shark attacks on humans, more than half have occurred within the Red Triangle. The area encompasses the beaches of the heavily-populated San Francisco Bay Area, and many people enjoy surfing, swimming and diving in these waters. Some have been attacked by great white sharks. The "Red" in "Red Triangle" refers to the red blood in the water, after a shark has made its attack.
