We’ve had several stories this month about shark strandings along the Monterey Bay. These sharks wash up infrequently in August and September along our Walk the Bay paths on the coast. I decided to learn a little more about the sharks that live in the Monterey Bay and was surprised to find that a dozen different shark species call Monterey Bay their home. Check out the very informative webpage on the sharks found in the bay from the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation in Santa Cruz.
If you are walking along the Monterey Bay and happen upon any stranded marine mammal be sure to call 831-633-6298.
