Great white shark spotted swimming with whales one mile off the Southern California Coast

Captain Chris Batts is reporting a great white shark sighting approximately 1 mile off Point Fermin in Southern California. “We just left it at around 11:20am,” said Batts from the Long Beach based whale watch vessel Christopher out of Harbor Breeze Cruises.

Curiously, the estimated 10-12 foot apex predator was swimming along several whales blue and fin whales. “He was just swimming along, calmly and very near the whales,” said Batts. “It was quite a sight for our passengers.”

On several occasions, the white shark tried to edge closer to a baby fin whale. "He (the shark) wasn't exactly after the baby fin whale but he did get pretty close," said Batts. "The adult fin whales kept putting themselves between the shark and the baby."

On June 26^th, Batts spotted another or possibly the same great white shark off Huntington Beach. The shark was seen in an area that has an abundance of market squid in it and an abundance of predators feeding on that squid. Sportfishing boats had been catching white seabass to over 60 pounds, as well as some nice yellowtail and lots of 6-8 pound barracuda. 

In addition, there was copious amounts of sea-lions also in the area. Smaller great whites are known to frequent the Huntington Beach area feeding on rays, sharks, halibut and other inshore species. When great whites reach about 12 feet in length, they turn their attention to pinnipeds and move offshore.

Batts is headed back out this afternoon on board the Triumphant this afternoon to see if he can locate the whales and the great white again. 

Phil Friedman Outdoors will keep you informed.

Should white sharks be listed as an endangered species?

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is accepting comments on whether the Northeastern Pacific population of white shark should be listed as a threatened or endangered species pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).

 

The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a globally distributed species found primarily in temperate seas. They are large apex predators that can be found in a wide variety of environments from the intertidal zone and the continental shelf to deep offshore areas. The Northeastern Pacific white shark population's full range extends from Mexico north to the Bering Sea and west to Hawaii.

The Fish and Game Commission received a petition to list white shark as either threatened or endangered pursuant to CESA in August 2012. The Commission’s decision to accept the petition and declare white shark a candidate species took effect March 1, 2013.

 CDFW is conducting an in-depth status review to provide the Commission with information to aid in its decision whether to list the species. The status review is slated for completion by March 2014. As part of the status review process, CDFW is soliciting information that will inform CDFW  and the Commission on white shark status, including potential habitat destruction or modification, overexploitation, predation, competition, disease or other natural occurrences or human related activities that may affect the status of white shark.

Mutilated sea lion washes up on Surfside Beach may have been attacked by a great white shark

LISTEN TO PHIL FRIEDMAN OUTDOORS RADIO

How to avoid a shark attack. Interview with noted shark expert Ralph Collier

A carcass of a mutilated sea lion washed up on the beach at Surfside on Thursday, the victim of a possible great white shark attack. Philip Friedman Jr. spied the dead sea lion from the Phil Friedman Outdoors Radio Studios in Surfside during a live radio show and decided to go down and investigate.

“I couldn’t tell exactly what it was,” said Friedman. “It looked like some kind of marine animal so I went down to take a look.” Friedman said the stench was strong and it looked like the creature had been dead for a while.

Friedman took photos and sent them to Ralph Collier from the Shark Research Committee. Founded in 1963 as a tax-exempt, non-profit scientific research organization, the Shark Research Committee's primary goal was to assist Leonard P. Schultz of the Smithsonian Institution in documenting shark attacks from the Pacific Coast of North America.

This initial objective was soon broadened to include conducting original research on the general biology, behavior and ecology ofsharks indigenous to waters off the Pacific Coast, with particular emphasis on potentially dangerous species.

“Although it is not possible to determine the cause of death, the sea lion did sustain several bites to the abdomen the result of sharks, most likely juvenile or sub-adult white sharks,” wrote Collier in an e-mail to Phil Friedman Outdoors Radio.

“The outer edge of the bite that exposed the rib-cage does demonstrate what appears to be individual upper tooth insertions from a white shark or shark's. However, it is apparent that the animal was at sea for some time following death, which would allow for multiple scavengers to utilize the carcass,” continued Collier.

Juvenile white sharks are known to feed regularly near Southern California beaches, which serve a as nurseries. Juvenile white sharks feed mostly on halibut, rays, smaller sharks as well as smaller fish. When they reach about 10-feet, they migrate offshore and begin to feed on sea lions and other pinnipeds. Statistically, humans have very little to fear from juvenile great whites.

“When I first saw the sea lion up close, the first thing that popped in to my mind was that a great white shark may have been the culprit,” said Friedman. “It’s pretty interesting to know now that that may not be too far from the truth.”     

Phil Friedman Outdoors Radio plans to follow up on this story on next week’s shows.

Pacific Coast Shark Attacks During 2012

LISTEN TO PHIL FRIEDMAN OUTDOORS RADIO

There were 8 authenticated unprovoked shark attacks reported from the Pacific Coast of North America during 2012, which includes 1 fatal attack. There were 7 attacks, including the fatal case, recorded from California and 1 from Oregon. The attacks were distributed in the following months; January (1), May (2), July (2) and October (3). There were 2 shark attacks reported south of the southern Santa Barbara County line, with the remaining 5 attacks from Santa Barbara County north. The single Oregon shark attack occurred near Lincoln City. Activities of the victims were; 4 Surfing (1 fatal), 2 Kayaking, 1 Windsurfing and 1 Paddle boarding. The Great White Shark, Carcharodon carcharias, was positively identified or highly suspect in all 8 of the attacks.

 

The publication “Shark Attacks of the Twentieth Century” authenticated 108 unprovoked shark attacks from the Pacific Coast between 1900 and 1999. The Great White Shark was implicated in 94 (87%) of the 108 confirmed attacks with an annual average of slightly more than one shark attack per year. The 8 cases reported for 2012 brings the total number of unprovoked shark attacks occurring along the Pacific Coast during the 21^st Century to 72. This is ‘six times’ the Twentieth Century annual average of slightly more than 1 shark attack per year. The Great White Shark was positively identified or highly suspect in 63 (88%) of the 72 attacks recorded during the 21^st Century. From 2000 to the present, 35 (49%) of the 72 confirmed shark attacks occurred during the three month period of August (10), September (9), and October (16). There have been 180 authenticated unprovoked shark attacks reported from the Pacific Coast of North America from 1900 to 2012. The Great White Shark was positively identified or highly suspect in 157 (87%) of the 180 cases. There were 8 fatal shark attacks confirmed from 1900 to 1999 and 5 fatal attacks reported from 2000 to 2012. The 13 fatal attacks represent 7% of the 180 total cases.

 

Victim activity for the 72 shark attacks reported from the Pacific Coast since 2000 are distributed in the following ocean user groups; surfers 48 (67%) of the documented attacks, with 5 swimmers (7%), 8 kayakers (11%), 4 divers (6%), 4 paddle boarders (6%), 1 windsurfer (1%), 1 fishing (1%), and 1 boogie boarder (1%). The number of shark-bitten stranded marine mammals reported in 2012 was greater than the prior year, especially in Santa Barbara County. The location and time of year, would suggest an increase in the number of Great White Sharks utilizing those specific areas. However, this might not be the result of an increase in their population but rather locations being targeted by sharks migrating along the Pacific Coast.The Shark Research Committee will continue to closely monitor these activities.

Second shark attack in California in less than a week; Shark expert tells you how to stay safe

Click-  Shark expert Ralph Collier on how to avoid a shark attack!

For the second time in less than a week, another surfer has been attacked by a shark along the California Coast. 

Humboldt County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Knight said his agency got a call at 12:11 p.m. reporting that a man had been bitten by a shark off the North Jetty near Eureka.

The surfer was able to get to the shoreline by himself but he was badly bleeding from the abdomen in what was described as life threatening injuries.

The attack comes less than a week after 39-year-old Francisco Javier Solorio Jr. of Orcutt was killed in a great white shark attack in the waters off Surf Beach in Santa Barbara County – hundreds of miles to the south from Eureka.

Solorio was bitten in the upper torso and died at the scene despite a friend's efforts to save him.

The beach, about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles, also was the site of an October 2010 fatal attack. Lucas Ransom, a 19-year-old student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, died when a shark nearly severed his leg as he body-boarded.

Noted shark expert Ralph Collier was recently on Phil Friedman Outdoors Radio with some great ideas on how you can stay safe.

There are months when you are more likely to be attacked, areas you should avoid, and so much more that you NEED to be aware of.
