Multiple outlets report that a great white shark is seen near a boat off the coast of Rottnest Island in the days following an attack involving Steven Mattaboni. The reports describe the shark appearing close to the vessel as it remains in the area after the earlier incident. The West Australian and 7News Australia both focus on the renewed sightings occurring shortly after the attack and include a similar description of the shark’s size as it is observed offshore.
While the articles broadly align on the timing—after the Mattaboni attack—and the location—Rottnest Island waters—they provide limited additional detail in the excerpts provided. Both accounts indicate that the shark is effectively “stalking” the boat, drawing attention to the continuing presence of large sharks in the region in the immediate aftermath of the incident. The reports do not, in the provided text, specify further actions taken by authorities or the outcome of the shark sighting beyond the fact that it occurs in the days following the attack.
