Last week, the team headed south to Jervis Bay in NSW to reports of a critically endangered Grey Nurse Shark that was entangled with a nasty hook, trace and line.
Thanks to the support of Lara & Dylan from Woebegone Dive, the teams were able to locate not only the target shark but another individual with a fishing line entanglement.
Our specialised dive team individually caught the sharks and brought them safely to the surface allowing Dr Luke from the The Aquarium Vet to complete the hook removal process on the duckboard of the Woebegone Dive vessel before providing the sharks with a round of antibiotics prior to them being returned to the idyllic waters of Jervis Bay.
These were the sixth and seventh Grey Nurse Sharks rescued by the team in 2025, and we are continuing to urge people to fish responsibly and for dive communities to report any sightings of injured sharks to give our team the opportunity to provide assistance.
