Probably too far out to worry swimmers, but just so you know....
A shark has been spotted feeding on a whale carcass off Geraldton Harbour this morning (Wednesday).
A member of the public reported the sighting to Sharksmart about 7am.
The animal was reported 2km offshore, near the Beacon 1 Navigation Channel.
