Of course, fisherman complain about waiting for the fish to bite, and I might gripe about "waiting on the hook" on a crash scene, but this takes it to a whole new level. Who knows how long this Nurse Shark will have to carry this around until it rusts or breaks free.Nurse SharkGinglymostoma cirratumWahoo KeyMonroe County, FloridaSeaLife DC1400Sea Dragon 2000 Photo/Video/Dive Light
This secret rock is almost always a good spot to creep up on a snoozing nurse shark or two. I would think all those urchins and bugs in there would be annoying, but then again, I guess that's what that tough skin is for.

Sharks are in big trouble worldwide. Recent studies (Edgar et al 2014) estimate that shark biomass is down by 93% worldwide as a result of fishing pressures. Thats 1/15th as many sharks as there originally were in our oceans. Humans continue to kill 100 million sharks per year. Sharks kill 5 humans worldwide per year (confirmed unprovoked attacks; ISAF). Who needs to be protected from whom?
