Approximately 99% of global internet traffic passes through submarine cables, which connect continents and enable digital communication worldwide. However, these cables often face damage, primarily from maritime activities such as ship anchoring and fishing. A rarer but interesting phenomenon is their damage by sharks, which sometimes bite them, mistaking them for prey due to electromagnetic fields. Although these cases constitute only a very small percentage of damages, technology companies like Google have taken additional protective measures for their cables. These measures include the use of strong protective materials that resist cuts and other damages. The cost of building and maintaining these cables is very high, while repairs can reach millions of dollars each year.
