Hundreds of dead sharks found washed-up on Welsh beaches

Hundreds of dead catsharks (also known as dogfish) and other fish have washed up on two Welsh beaches—Pembrey Beach in Carmarthenshire and Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) determined the Saundersfoot incident was likely linked to discarded fishing by-catch with no pollution involved, though remains were washed back to sea before an officer’s visit; the Pembrey find, discovered by a local walker, has not been reported to NRW yet.
