Another dead shark found during our beachcleaning

During our latest beachcombing we found another leopard shark. We couldn't see any external damages like the previous one with a hook and a fishing line.

Sad find today again

“sharks that bite in to the fishing line just get cut off by the fisherman and then left with a hook in there beaks ”

We visited the SASC in hermanus and learned a lot about the sharks that roam our area, please check them out as well. https://www.sharkconservancy.org/

South Africa Shark Conservancy

The South African Shark Conservancy (SASC) Shark Lab is based in Hermanus, Western Cape. The Shark Lab is situated on the shoreline of Walker Bay, in the heart of the Cape Whale Coast Hope Spot. With more than 60 species of shark, skate, ray and chimaera described in this area, the Shark Lab is at the center of a global shark diversity hotspot. The lab itself is a fully functional wet lab comprised of in-house shark research facilities, education center and staff and student offices. A flow-through seawater system enables us to house endemic shark species which are used for research and education purposes.
