Mick Preston said he counted 25 sharks on a small stretch of the beach while another man says he counted more than a hundred
Dozens of sharks have washed up on a beach in Merseyside. The strange sight was witnessed by dog walker Mick Preston, from Meols, Wirral, who had gone to Leasowe Beach on Wednesday when he saw a social media post about dead sea creatures washed up on the sand.
Mick said: "Me and the Mrs and dog went for a walk and it's just not a nice sight. I've done this for a hobby for 22 years - I've fished the Mersey since I was 14. "By the time they've been dragged through water in the net and everything [they're already dead]. They're tossed overboard like garbage. An NWIFCA spokesperson said: "Under current local and national legislation, it is not illegal to fish using gill-nets on foot in the Mersey Estuary, nor discard unwanted by-catch from those nets. NWIFCA officers regularly patrol the area and conduct inspections of this fishery to ensure compliance with specific regulations regarding the physical make-up of the nets in use.
