14/07/2005: "GREY NURSE SHARK SUNSET 1968"

There would be a $200,000 fine for this act of marine vandalism today. This picture was an editorial feature in fathom SHARKS issue 1971; by then serious adventure seekers knew there was absolutely no merit in chasing this quiet species as a trophy. Maybe beginners thought differently. The true grey nurse shark story is yet to be told. Much is distortion that has been repeated and plaguiarised.

This picture always had merit for avoiding the stereo-type hunter smiling with catch pose.
