Abstract
The proliferation of anthropogenic debris, predominantly plastic, in the marine environment is a growing concern. While marine fish entanglement in such debris is widely reported, documentation of similar incidents involving sharks remains remarkably limited globally. Common items causing entanglement include discarded fishing lines, nets, ropes, plastic bands, and packaging straps. When these wound around the shark’s fins, gills, or body, it leads to physical injuries causing restricted movement, impaired feeding, and in severe cases, death.
