Sharks in Punda Banda

Ensenada, BC Two gigantic white sharks wees seen and videotaped by
a fishing boat in the zone of Punta Banda. They measured more than
5 meters in length (about 15 feet).

This past Tuesday, May 6, the crew of the commercial fishing
boat `Lunker' were fishing for a species of fish called `rockot' in
the triangle formed by Punta Banda, Todos Santos Island, and La
Bufadora.

Under the command of Captain Edmundo Jiménez Mendez, the fishermen
spotted the two enormous sea predators a few kilometers from the
coast, almost in front of La Bufadora

According to Jiménez Mendez, in his 30 years of fishing, this is the
first time he has observed this species of shark so close to the
Ensenada coastline.

This was such an unusual event that they decided to videotape the
sharks presence. The sharks cooperated by getting even closer to
the boat, offering quite a spectacle around it.

At the time of the videotaping the sharks were two kilometers from
the coast. Their size was calculated by comparing them to the
dimensions of the Lunker which is 31 feet long. When one of the
sharks aligned itself alongside they noted that it surpassed, by
quite a bit, half of the boat.

Captain Jiménez Mendez did not try to capture the sharks, seeing as
they were in there natural habitat. Nevertheless, he said, it is
important the people know that these sharks are near the coast and
could present a danger to swimmers and surfers. They ought to be
very careful.

"They ought not forget that the sharks are in there territory and
that it is man who is the invader," he commented.

Recently a white shark attacked and killed a swimmer in San Diego
County.
