Have you spotted any sharks from Nelson-Tasman beaches?

Katie Townshend Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A sighting of a shark fin off Rabbit Island appears to have been the third shark encounter in recent weeks. One person posted a video of a shark partially circling a motorboat reported to be off Rabbit Island around five weeks ago. Department of Conservation marine species team technical advisor Clinton Duffy was “pretty confident” that shark was a great white, and said a kayaker, also off Rabbit Island, was recently approached by a great white when he was about 200m offshore.
