Beach visitors capture sharks using their bare hands, facing significant aftermath

In a disturbing turn of events, a video has surfaced showing a shark flailing on the shore of a Tenerife beach. Locals are seen rushing to assist the beached shark, using their bare hands to try and help the marine creature.

However, the actions of the locals, as shown in the video, have potential negative impacts on the shark. The video serves as a cautionary tale about human interaction with marine wildlife, highlighting the potential negative impacts of human behaviour on these vulnerable creatures.

Another video shows a seal struggling due to human behaviour. The exact actions causing distress to the seal are not specified, but it is clear that the seal's life is at risk due to human actions.

Organización Consumidores y Usuarios de Tenerife para el Apoyo y la Protección del Medio Ambiente (OCÉANO), an organisation providing consultation and rescue assistance for stranded marine mammals in Tenerife, has not yet released any details about the consequences for these animals.

The videos provide examples of harmful human behaviour towards marine life, emphasising the need for education and awareness about the importance of protecting these creatures. It is crucial for vacationers and locals alike to understand the potential impacts of their actions on marine life and to take steps to minimise harm.

The videos are available for viewing, with the first video showing the scene of the beached shark and the second video showing the seal struggling due to human behaviour. These videos serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of marine life and the need for human intervention to protect these creatures.
