Shallow water sharks

[powell11]

What kind of small sharks can i find in shallow waters???. i watched this pro gramme where this team caught a shark by hand (about 2ft long)and the water was about 1-2ft deep and crystal clear with a sandy bottom.

almost certainly not in the UK ( the crystal clear water is a bit of a give away). The majority of sharks live in deep water but in european waters (spain and the med.) the commonest small sharks that can be found in shallow water are the Sand Shark, the Nurse Shark, and the Tope. There may well be more so.. suggestions please.

The Bull shark likes to stay in shallow waters and often swims up rivers.

We went to the Maldives several years ago, and the manta rays and young reef sharks used to come in very close to the beach in the evening, as one man used to feed them, probably so holiday makers could see them properly. The rays were absolutely fascinating, so graceful, and lots of young reef sharks, all about 18" to 2' long. Wonderful holiday.
