A 21-year-old man was bitten by a sandbar shark off Nantucket while trying to release it. He sustained a leg injury and was flown to the hospital by medical helicopter. Police and fire officials were not involved in his transport. Caroline Collatos, a researcher, highlighted the resurgence of sandbar shark populations due to fishing regulations that began in 2008. Responsible fishing practices are emphasized to ensure the survival of caught sharks. Continuous monitoring is essential to ensure the health of the shark population.
"Keep safety for yourself and shark in mind."
"If you go shark fishing, have a plan."
