Bredren sometimes it’s just best to keep quiet. I’m pretty sure a 5ft Galapagos Is more worried about small bait fish and squid more than ya 5 year old at Jobsons Cove… Oh by the way North Rock isn’t just “down de road”, it’s 9.3 miles from Flatts inlet…. Um Just Sayin…

I’ve seen small sharks in the great sound and also on north shore… Only a fool would think there are no sharks in Bermuda waters.. Typical bermudian , speak first, think later

Well, as the shark came from our waters and there’s lots of other sharks already in our waters, I don’t see the relevance of your argument regarding safety.

Also, while sharks like this one do have a limited capacity for learned behaviour, instinct is dominant in them. It’ll ease back to ‘the wild’ no problem. It will be no more at risk (or a risk to others) than any other shark in our waters.

So, nothing to worry about really!

You should probably read the article again, if you did at all.

This is the same shark from last week…….it’s just additional info/pics.

I’m not sure but I THINK North a Rock is far out enough to keep humans and the shark safe from each other…..

and before I get an avalanche of responses, this is as much about the shark’s safety as ours! They don’t need to be run over by boats, injured or caught as they learn to make their way back into what has become for them a alien environment. Especially as life on the water becomes hugely busy over the next months. It is a much for their safety as ours.

Is it me or what???? This is the second shark to be “released” in a week or so………………..could the timing have been worse?? Why now when we are so close to May 24th and the traditional start of Bermuda’s swimming season (many of us have already started btw!!)…Did anybody check the calender or is the need for more footage/material for “Ocean Vet” more important? Don’t get me wrong – I am all for releasing any wild animal, mammal,bird or fish from captivity into its natural environment but I just find the timing curious! Only in Bermuda would sharks be “released” at the start of the swimming season!!! Geesch…………you could not make this up…………..

Very happy to see this wild animal gain his freedom and able to live out the rest of his life in the wild. Now, if we could only let the dolphins free from their prison at Dolphin Quest. What did any of theses animals do to deserve a life sentence in a cell? Yea, yea, research, good for school children…bollocks.
