Grey nurse shark rescue Feb 2011

Footage of a recent Grey nurse shark rescue at South Solitary Island, Coffs Harbour. A 2.5 metre female with a double wrap of 15mm silver rope lodged around its tail was at risk from infection and ulceration. The entanglement was removed with a custom knife designed for whale rescues fixed to a 3 metre fibreglass pole. Many thanks to Mike Davey of Jetty Dive and Steve Dalton for their invaluable assistance..

Awesome!! There will be good karma going your way!!

More people need to be nice to sharks, many are becoming rare now, and the ocean needs them!

Well done guys, this shark might have otherwise not survived. I would think now she has a pretty good chance. Cheers, Tim from underwater-com-au
