“I know there’s a huge stigma around how scary they can look, but I promise you they are the sweetest animals ever,” 16-year-old Shalise Leesfield says of gray nurse sharks. “They’re so docile and so curious, they’re like the Labradors of the sea.”
With a menacing grin, needle-like teeth, and a sharp pointed snout, a gray nurse shark isn’t a creature that most people would want to encounter. But Shalise Leesfield isn’t most people. The 16-year-old Australian couldn’t think of a better creature to meet when scuba diving off the coast of South West Rocks, near her home in Port Macquarie, a coastal town north of Sydney.
“When people think about Hope Spots, they think about Sydney Harbour or the Great Barrier Reef … so to get Fish Rock up on that platform is just such incredible news,” she says. “I love to call Fish Rock a beacon of hope for these sharks, because it’s their home … It’s just such a crucial place for them and to not have protection for such an important habitat, it’s devastating.
