Shark Week is back!
Everyone’s favorite week returned Sunday, July 27 2008 with six all-new programs, along with some of Shark Week’s most popular and memorable shows from past years. From 16-foot-long robo-sharks to the edge of the Arctic Circle, Discovery pushes this year’s lineup to new extremes with “Mythbusters”; “Survivorman”; “Dirty Jobs” and more!

One of the main themes with this year’s programming of Shark Week is the importance of sharks to our environment. “Dirty Jobs” (which was recently nominated for an Emmy) shows how Greenland’s sharks can help us understand the speedy ecological changes going on.
Don’t miss tonight’s special, “Mysteries of the Shark Coast,” which follows scientists who are trying to determine why sharks are disappearing in Australia’s northeastern coast! Discovery has a Shark Conservation blog up as well.
