A WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER FOUND A FEMALE BLUE SHARK WASHED UP ON A MONTEREY COUNTY BEACH THIS WEEK. SEAN VAN SOMMERAN, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PELAGIC SHARK RESEARCH FOUNDATION IN SANTA CRUZ SAID THE WOMAN DID EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING, AND CALLED THE MARINE MAMMAL CENTER….WHICH SENT OUT A PARK RANGER AND VAN SOMMERAN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE 6-FOOT LONG SHARK, WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY A BOAT, SUCCUMBED TO ITS INJURIES A SHORT TIME LATER.
