A diver is making a public plea for people to reduce their waste after seeing a grey nurse shark injured by rubbish in waters off the NSW Mid North Coast. Forster Dive Centre co-owner Amelie Chipeaux said she was diving at Seals Rock, 138km north of Newcastle, last month when she spotted the 1.6m female shark swimming towards her with something around its body.
Diver’s ‘devastating’ find in ocean. Chipeaux said the shark was badly injured with a metal ring stuck around it, cutting into its body. “I was devastated. I couldn’t do anything to help, I felt really sad,” she said. Chipeaux captured a video of the shark swimming past and posted it to social media with a plea for people to place their rubbish in bins and reduce their overall waste. Every year in Australia, 130,000 tonnes of plastic leaks into the ocean, according to animal charity WWF.
