A three-meter-long female shark, dubbed 'Bukang-i', has been trapped in an artificial canal at Busan's North Port Waterfront Park for over a month. Despite two previous attempts, authorities have failed to guide the shark back to the open sea. Experts express concern as the shark shows signs of weakness, hasn't eaten, and the water temperature drops. A third rescue attempt using reinforced equipment is planned.
