Sharks Nets In Australia – Wiping Out Vulnerable Marine Species
November 28, 2009
A 3.5m Great White Shark was caught and died in the shark nets off Sydney beach, at Bronte; on Saturday November 28, 2009.
Great whites are naturally curious and studies have proven that humans are not actually on the great white’s menu. Their main prey items include sea lions, seals, small toothed whales, sea turtles and carrion.
Scientists around the world agree that great white shark numbers are decreasing due to overfishing, fisheries by-catch, shark nets, shark finning and other factors. They are also listed as vulnerable species in NSW.
May the shark rest in peace and may no more suffer an uncalled for fate.
