A shark has been filmed swimming near the shore off Waiheke Island. A local resident filmed what appears to be a medium-size bronze whaler, about two metres long, near Matiatia wharf. In the video the shark can be seen swimming under a team of ducks and ducklings, which scatter quickly as the apex predator approaches. Last month, 19-year-old Kaelah Marlow died after apparently being attacked by a shark at Waihī Beach in the Bay of Plenty. "I'm looking at a couple here right in front of me saying 'because we stopped shark finning there's sharks everywhere'.
