Surfers try to save beached great white shark

According to a Daily Telegraph article Andrew Eckersley and a “lone surfer” came to the aid of a beached 3m male great white shark on a Mid-North Coast beach in New South Wales last week. The pair used logs that they had found on the beach to help move the shark back into the water where it was able to swim away. However, the shark was found dead on the same beach the following day. The shark jaws had been illegally “hacked out by someone as a souvenir,” according to the Daily Telegraph.
