Estudante é atacado por um tubarão na praia de Boa Viagem
O estudante Rodrigo Rocha de Menezes, 16 anos, é a 27ª vítima de ataques de tubarão no litoral
pernambucano desde setembro de 92. O estudante teve o pé esquerdo lacerado por uma
mordida do peixe, quando surfava na praia de Boa Viagem, na altura do Hotel Vila Rica, uma
área que conta até com sinalização de advertência por ser propícia às investidas de tubarões. O
ataque aconteceu por volta das 17h30, de domingo. Das 27 pessoas atacadas por tubarões em
Pernambuco, oito morreram. Do total de vítimas fatais, seis eram banhistas e duas eram surfistas.
Rodrigo conta que já estava se preparando para sair do mar com mais quatro amigos, quando
sentiu uma pancada no pé esquerdo. O estudante costuma surfar após a linha dos arrecifes e
disse que o mar estava muito "mexido" na hora do incidente. . "A gente estava indo para a praia
na hora que senti o bote. Olhei para trás, mas não vi nada. Aí coloquei toda minha força nos
braços e cheguei na areia. Quando vi meu pé era sangue para todo lado", lembra Rodrigo.
De acordo com o ortopedista Conegundes Filho, que atendeu o surfista, a lesão no pé de Rodrigo
foi superficial e não houve comprometimento dos tendões e músculos do rapaz. O médico explica
que o ferimento ainda requer cuidados por conta do risco de infecção. "Vamos manter Rodrigo
em observação por mais dois dias para evitar infecções, mas a lesão não foi profunda e ele
provavelmente não terá nenhuma seqüela", garantiu o ortopedista.
PREVISÍVEL - Para o pesquisador do departamento de Engenharia de Pesca da Universidade
Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Fábio Hazin, o incidente com o surfista não foi nenhuma surpresa.
Segundo Hazin, no último final de semana havia uma reunião de fatores propícios para ataques.
"Neste domingo tínhamos lua nova, água turva e maré alta no horário do ataque, tudo isto entre
julho e setembro, época de maior incidência de problemas com tubarões em Pernambuco"
O pesquisador aponta a área entre as praias do Pina e Paiva como de risco máximo para os
ataques de tubarão até setembro. "Quem estiver nesta região, em dias de maré alta, deve evitar
o banho de mar ea prática do surfe", advertiu Fábio Hazin.
