Will It Succeed Today? Third Attempt Underway to Guide 'Bukangi' the Shark Out of Busan North Port

Authorities are launching a third operation today (October 21) to guide "Bukangi," a shark that has been lingering in the artificial waterway of the Busan North Port Waterfront Park for over a month, back out to sea.

Related agencies, including the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Busan Metropolitan City government, will begin operations this afternoon to drive Bukangi out to sea from the park waterway.

The relevant authorities plan to once again use nets dragged from the inner part of the waterway toward the exit to guide Bukangi toward the ocean.

Experts will also be deployed to the site to monitor Bukangi's health status in real time.

Initially, authorities decided to wait for Bukangi to leave for the open sea on its own. However, as the shark showed no signs of leaving and water temperatures dropped, raising the risk of mortality, they decided to launch this third guiding operation.
