Fisherman fined $2,000 for cutting grey nurse shark's throat
A recreational fisherman has been fined for killing an endangered grey nurse shark that was hooked in waters off Forster on the New South Wales mid-north coast.
Fisheries officers found the 1.7 metre female shark in an icebox on the man's boat in June 2006.
Primary Industries Minister Ian McDonald says the shark appeared to have had its throat cut.
The 51-year-old central coast man pleaded guilty in the Forster Local Court and has been fined $2,000.
I am not sure if this is a win for shark protection as in theory under the GNS protection laws, unlawful fishing or damage to grey nurse shark habitats can lead to a fine of up to A$220,000 ... so where do those $2,000 come from ?

The Taste of The Cocos (Keeling) Islands
by Blaze
- For many, this question still arises: "Where the heck is the Cocos (Keeling) Islands?" and more than likely they proceed to look for Cocos in the Pacific Ocean.
