Shark Details

Dorsal just appeared from below, then swam towards boat and then submerged and was not seen again. Stayed in the area for 20 minutes. Note from Jackie Hall (co-ordinator MBSW). Typical early-season shark. They don't hang around at the surface but they're here!

Environment Details

Wind NW quite sheltered where sighting was. Heavy plankton 5 hrs prior to high tide.
