Josh Lonergan managed to video a great white shark as it leapt from the water in the Bay of Plenty. Great white sharks are protected under the Wildlife Act 1953. Anyone found killing or possessing them can face up to two years in prison, or a fine of up to $250,000. “Fishers are expected to not only know fisheries regulations for the area they are in, but also to be able to identify the species they catch and whether or not they can be legally taken,” Swain said. “We would like to thank members of the public who reported this and shared information with us.”
The meat and liver of a great white shark have been seized by the Department of Conservation following a search warrant at a residential address in Taurang
