Earlier this year I posted up an article on a significant shark die off in the bay, Here is a followup story about the biological investigation and a probable cause,  interesting stuff, mentions WSB.

BTW "Bay Nature" is a super high quality publication about all things Nature related in the Bay Area.

You're right, that is interesting.  Hopefully, F&G will limit Leopard shark fishing next year in order to assist in recovering those lost sharks.

I often see dead juvenile sharks get washed up on the Hayward shoreline. I've been noticing that for the last 30 years. I always thought it was simply natural selection at work.
