Matt Roush says...
Not to be confused with Syfy’s Sharknado movies, Shark Week special The Real Sharkano (airing at 8/7c) follows shark advocate and attack survivor Paul De Gelder when he visits a remote island society of shark worshippers to study their methods of swimming with the deadly predators. Followed by Sharks of the Dead Zone (9/8c), which explores the ability of sharks to survive in oxygen-poor waters affected by marine pollution and outbreaks of algae; and Shark Attack Island (10/9c), with De Gelder and other shark experts investigating a South Pacific hotspot for recent Bull, Tiger and Great White shark attacks.
