There have been two deadly suspected shark attacks in 2021 with the year not halfway through. The latest on Tuesday was caused by a shark believed to be 4.5m long off the NSW coast.
The victim of a fatal shark attack on the NSW mid-north coast has been identified as father-of-two, Mark Sanguinetti.
Tributes flowed for the 59-year-old from Sydney s Northern Beaches today with friends, family and local residents laying flowers on Tuncurry Beach where he died.
His daughters wrote a letter to their dad, calling the ocean the first of his many loves.

According to reports, a 59-year-old surfer was killed in a shark attack north of Sydney yesterday. The 15-foot shark attacked the man in Tuncurry Beach, about 190 miles north of Sydney. Friends apparently told authorities that the man had tried to warn his fellow surfers moments before the shark turned on him.
The man’s friends were able to pull him to shore where authorities took over rescue operations. He reportedly had mortal injuries to his right thigh. Locals theorize that the shark movement in the area recently may have been due to the predators feeding on migratory fish.
There have been more than a few incidents in this area, though. There was a reported shark attack here in 2016 and drones have spotted sharks along this stretch of beach for at least two years (if not more), including the ones below from a YouTube page with the handle, The Rogue Droner.
The man who died in a great white shark attack has been remembered as a truly special soul who is home now in the ocean in heartbreaking tribute shared by his daughter.
Mark Sanguinetti, 59, from Sydney s Northern Beaches, was fatally mauled by a 4.5m great white shark off Tuncurry Beach near Forster on the NSW mid-north coast on Tuesday morning. We all knew him as a legend with a heart as vast and deep as the ocean, which was the first of his many loves, one of his daughters penned in a handwritten tribute, which also invited surfers to a ceremonial paddle out to remember Mr Sanguinetti.
