Nash Core and his son participated in a rescue of a great white shark stranded in shallow waters near Ardrossan, South Australia. A group of local men had been attempting to return the three-metre long shark to deeper waters using crab rakes. While Core expressed some fear, he described the experience positively, aiming to ensure the shark swam away safely. Wildlife expert Vanessa Pirotta explained that strandings are increasing in visibility due to social media, highlighting potential causes such as illness or behavior during prey chasing.
Nash Core admits feeling fear during the rescue of a stranded great white shark alongside his son but ultimately found it a memorable experience.
Wildlife scientist Vanessa Pirotta notes that shark strandings are not common, but social media is making them increasingly visible to the public.
Core decided against physically moving the shark, recognizing it was best to keep a distance from the creature and allow the rescuers to work.
Pirotta suggests various reasons for shark strandings, including illness or injury, and notes that feeding behavior might also lead sharks into shallow waters.
