- A three-metre female dusky shark, nicknamed Bukang-i, has been trapped in an artificial canal in Busan, South Korea, since mid-September.
- Marine experts warn the endangered shark could have just two weeks to live due to exhaustion, lack of food, and declining water temperatures.
- Bukang-i has drawn over one million visitors but is showing signs of distress and physical injury after repeatedly striking concrete canal walls.
- Two previous rescue attempts using water jets and nets failed after the shark evaded streams of water or nets became snagged.
- A third multi-agency rescue operation using pontoon nets, divers, and underwater drones is scheduled for Wednesday before weather conditions worsen.
