'The end of a silky shark'
Rafael Fernandez Caballero
SIlky shark entangled in a ghost net in Maldives, close to Ari Atoll. We were trying to spot a whale shark in the area when we saw this ghost net, we jumped into the water to see what was inside and to try to help but unfortunately there was a dead silky shark entangled. A lot of sharks die due to the big problem of ghost nets or lost nets.
Judge's comment: This kind of image has to be aired to all in order to bring to the attention the huge problem of ghost nets.
