Every fishing season, thousands of bottom-dwelling sharks and rays get entangled and ensnared as by-catch by trawlers and longliners. Often too injured to be returned to the wild, these creatures have gotten a second-chance at life at the Shark and Ray Rescue Centre in Bob's Farm, NSW. Once rehabilitated, the marine life at the Centre is rehomed in public aquariums.
After checking out the sharks and rays, the owner let us camp on the grass out front! Result!
