A prankster planted a fake Shark Fin made out of hardened insulation foam at a British beach, causing panic among beachgoers. The fin, which was fixed to a wooden cross and painted dark grey, was placed in the sea near Torquay. A school teacher on a sea safari trip spotted it and alerted the boat skipper, who suspected it was a fake. The person responsible for the prank later confessed on Facebook, saying it was meant for a personal video. The prank had a potential financial impact on struggling coastal businesses and was criticized for being deliberate marine littering.
