Cox Communications has partnered with Discovery Channel and the Virginia Aquarium to bring ‘Shark Week’ to Hampton Roads from August 2 through 7. Aquarium guests are invited to watch a variety of shark species up close and learn about the importance of these animals. Shark Week will be available on the Discovery Channel on Channel 31 or 731 in HD.
The 22nd year of The Shark Week is the longest event and, viewers will find out if sharks behave any differently during the day than at night; what makes certain areas shark attack “hot spots” and what still puzzles scientists about the most feared shark of them all — the Great White. Discovery Channel’s SHARK WEEK will kick off with a two-hour special entitled BLOOD IN THE WATER on Sunday, August 2, 9-11 p.m. about the true story behind Jaws.
Leigh Woisard, Cox Vice President of Government and Public Affairs said “Cox is proud to partner with Discovery Channel and the Virginia Aquarium in bringing SHARK WEEK to life in Hampton Roads. This is a great educational opportunity for children and adults alike to learn the facts about sharks and how they are so important to nature.”
Karen Burns, Education Specialist, Virginia Aquarium added, “Sharks are among the most feared and misunderstood creatures. The Virginia Aquarium is pleased to spotlight these creatures during Discovery Channel’s annual SHARK WEEK and educate the public about the role they play in the overall marine ecosystem.”
