The Flinders University student thought he had been washed on to rocks by a wave and bailed out of his kayak, only to turn around and see the huge shark treating his boat like a chew toy. &quot;The shark bit into my thigh and was violently jerking the kayak,&quot; he said. &quot;I didn't know it was a shark so I was relaxed enough to grab my sunnies as I bailed out. &quot;It wasn't until I came up from the water when I saw a big thing gnawing ... <a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=48&amp;t=1595"><b>more ...</b></a> <b>Statistics</b> : 1 Post || 2467 Views 2012 Shark Attacks and Related Incidents - News - Digest http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1595 http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1594 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 03:36:33 GMT <h5><a href="http://sharkattacksurvivors.com/shark_attack/viewforum.php?f=48" title="2012 Shark Attacks and Related Incidents">2012 Shark Attacks and Related Incidents</a></h5> 04/03/2012 - Joshua Holley - Hawaii Surfer injured in shark attack on Oahu's North Shore hawaii-04-03-2012.jpg Emergency crews are responding to a possible shark attack on Oahu's North Shore.

The man was diving about 200m off Stratham Beach in Geographe Bay about 230km southwest of Perth, when he was attacked just before 9.30am (WST) today. A police spokeswoman said it was believed the man was diving with his brother, who was not harmed. The body has been taken south to Port Geographe Marina in Busselton. Beaches in the area have been closed following the attack. Experts from the Department of Fisheries have launched an investigation, which will include an examination of bite marks on the man's body to determine what species of shark was involved in the attack. An aerial patrol was to be sent out to try to determine if the shark was still in the area. Today's attack is the fourth fatal shark attack off the WA coast since September last year.

Joey Coppola, 21, had minor lacerations and declined medical treatment after the bite, which happened just after 2 p.m., Beach Patrol Capt. Tammy Marris said. Marris said it wasn't clear what type of shark bit Coppola. The first two reported bites of the year happened earlier this month -- also near the jetty in New Smyrna Beach, where two teen surfers were bitten within about 5 minutes of each other. Each surfer described their shark as 4 to 5 feet long, but authorities said it's unlikely they were bitten by the same one. March is an active shark month off Volusia County beaches, as temperatures warm up and sharks begin migrating north up the east coast.
