Shark lovers' jaws will drop when they hear this news: Discovery Channel will be hosting an underwater Google Hangout for the 26th anniversary of Shark Week, straight from the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

The aquatic hangout is scheduled for Sunday, August 4 at 11 p.m. ET and will be an opportunity for shark experts, fans and fish junkies to engage in a live discussion about their favorite beast of the sea. It will be integrated into the premiere episode of Discovery's Shark After Dark.
