Grey nurse sharks have large, stout bodies, small eyes, and a distinctive pointed snout that is highlighted by a multitude of protruding teeth. GettySo how can the general public help grey nurse sharks out? One way is to raise awareness about the plight of the grey nurse sharks and the threats they currently face. However, this can trap not just grey nurse sharks but other animals like turtles, seals/sea lions, penguins, dolphins, and more. Another way to help grey nurse sharks is to contribute to citizen science programs like Spot A Shark where divers can upload photos of grey nurse sharks on to a large digital library that allows their unique arrangement of spots to ID individuals.
