Dead Bronze Whaler shark found on Bennetts Beach in Hawks Nest, Australia; local council responsible for removal.
A dead Bronze Whaler shark was found on Bennetts Beach in Hawks Nest, Australia, sparking questions about the circumstances of its death. The local landholder, MidCoast Council, is responsible for removing the shark, while ORRCA, which deals with marine mammal rescue and disposal, was unaware of the incident until contacted. The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) confirmed that Whaler sharks are often spotted close to shore, and the recreational bag limit for Whaler sharks is one, lower than the limits for Mako and School sharks.
