I don't want to criticize the survivorship bias, but i'm finding it hard to work with the example used. Isn't focusing on (great white) sharks at the shore based on the fact that more people will encounter a shark at the shore, and therefore should be primarily informed about these encounters?

Agree.

Seems a question of base rates of attacks, rather than survivorship bias.
