“He marked the types of monitoring, and when he marked one of the types of shark of the island, the shark turned,” said Louis Fernandez, a doctor from the fire department. “It was about 4 meters in length with a huge force of bite – he turned and bit him on the head.”
Hoyos led the scientific expedition as part of the One Ocean Worldwide coalition, joint initiative, which includes attached fins of organizations, for the Oceans Foundation, the Rob Stewart Sharkvoter Foundation.
“Similar incidents are extremely rare,” said Alex Antoniu, Executive Director of Fins Atted, on social networks. “Dr. Hoyos is an extraordinary scientist who devoted his career to the preservation of sharks, and we are deeply grateful for the support of the Coscosa Island community at this very difficult time.”
The island of Kokos is the National Park of Costa -Rikan and was declared the UNESCO World Heritage Place in 1997. It is known for its wide variety of species, especially sharks.
