    Well, we did suspect there were packages of cocaine here. But turns out there wasn’t any!

      “If these cocaine bales are a point source of pollution, it’s very plausible [sharks] can be affected by this chemical. Cocaine is so soluble that any of those packages open just a little, the structural integrity is destroyed and the drug is in the water,” Tracy Fanara, a Florida-based environmental engineer toldthe Guardian last year.

      Blaming the sharks too smh
