The name ‘salmon shark’ comes from the fact that the crocodile mainly feeds on salmon.
They are smaller in size compared to the more aggressive great white sharks.
There are no known cases of attacks on humans.
However, as sharks were found in the waters of their jurisdiction, the Coast Guard notified relevant agencies such as local governments and requested that patrols on beaches be strengthened.
In addition, through the police box having jurisdiction over the area, patrols around the area where sharks were found are strengthened and closely monitored for re-appearances.

He continued, “Do not enter the waters where sharks have appeared in the past, avoid swimming in the early morning and at night, when sharks are mainly active, including if there is a wound, and when you encounter a shark in the sea, it stimulates the shark by screaming or splashing. He explained that the actions should be avoided.
“When encountering sharks in the sea, do not move by sticking to rocks or the bottom. When divers or haenyeo enter the water, move in pairs of two or more. Do not wear colorful wetsuits and avoid swimming with pets. “, he added.
