While not strictly a part of the game's Controls, it is worth mentioning that you are able to 'beach' your shark on one of the land masses in the game to reach otherwise protected humans. To do it, simply Boost towards the beach with your shark and it will automatically chomp on the person that thought they were out of reach. Once done, you will need to tilt or tap to get your shark back into the sea - push him in the right direction and he should wiggle free and back into the sea.
It is worth beaching your shark where possible as you will often nab yourself multiple fat humans - though beware that it can take a significant amount of time to free your shark. Clearly, if it takes too long then the extra food your shark nabbed will go to waste.
