Sand Tiger Shark (Carcharias taurus)Observer
scubalynneDescription
I took these photos of a young grey nurse shark, I saw it in bushrangers bay Shellharbour. The rope had obviously been there a long time, cutting into its skin. Heart breaking. I only heard of one other person seeing it and then didn't see it again. It favoured one side when swimming and did not move its caudal fin normally.

Saw this turtle in about 15m at the gutters at Bass point. The white bit in the right flipper is a fishing lure. We managed to grab it bring it to the surface and was trying to bring it in to get it help. But it got away from us. There was also fishing line that went into its mouth and my buddy could see a hook in its mouth too. Gutted it got away!!
