5 foot nurse shark entangled in fishing line with hook attached - stuck to rocky coral. Shark was severely malnourished. Once line was cut he swam away - hook remind in mouth
Fishing pier does NOT have enough garbage bins to dispose of cut line and garbage. No rules listed - fishing people very disobedient.
bed sheets
fishing line
fishing items - knives, hooks, lures
plastic items on shore
Comments and Feedback
I feel posters or some printed educational materials should be posted or handed out at this pier. Fishermen are the main problem with the debris and the tangled nurse sharks that we seem to free every month
