Shark attack! 2 Sharks Feed off Body of Dead Man in Misamis Oriental Philippine
Shark attack! 2 Sharks Feed off Body of Dead Man in Misamis Oriental Philippine. CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines—Beachgoers in El Salvador City and Opol town, Misamis Oriental are staying away from the beach after fishermen reported seeing sharks feeding on unidentified human remains some 10 kilometers off the coast on Tuesday morning.
Fernando Vincent Dy Jr., officer-in-charge of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), said local fishermen discovered the floating body Tuesday morning, prompting a flotilla of Bantay Dagat and fishing boats to sail to the scene to retrieve the body.
“We could not get near the body because the big sharks, more than two meters long, are circling the body. The sharks were eating the limbs,” a horrified Caballa said over the radio.
However, Bacolod said that the recent shark sightings are good since this signifies that the ecosystem in the province is well and balanced.
Bacolod said shark sightings happened often in the surrounding seas but reports of attacks have been rare.
The sea off El Salvador is part of the Macajalar Bay, a deep water bay of the Bohol Sea.
Fishermen have routinely caught sharks in the bay, along with other fishes.
