“Numerous Puncture Wounds From An Unknown Marine Animal”
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Cal Fire officials said Monday that no beach advisories will be posted after a surfer was hurt off Shell Beach in what is suspected to have been a bite by a small shark or other marine animal because the cause of his injury can’t be confirmed.
About 8 p.m. Sunday, a 26-year-old man reported that his foot was hurt while he was surfing in the waters off of Silver Shoals Drive.
San Luis Ambulance medics took the man to Arroyo Grande Hospital to be treated for what they described in radio dispatches as “numerous puncture wounds” from “an unknown marine animal.”
But fire officials said Monday that they could not confirm the injuries came from a “dangerous marine animal” attack.
