Bethany Edmund, Bitten on August 25th, 2009
On Tuesday August 25th Bethany Edmund was swimming at Terramar beach beach in Carlsbad when she was bitten by what was likely a small great white shark. Photos of her wounds are consistent with those of a 5 foot white shark but she did not suffer extensive tissue damage. Although the evidence is inconclusive Ms. Edmund was likely bitten by a shark.
The attack happened in the afternoon about 250-300 feet from shore.
