According to Ángel, the inflatable was large and was no protection — that is why the shark was able to get so close to the people who were there.

“It modified its environment and the shark is not to blame, it is nature and my daughter would have said that they are not to blame.”

It is worth mentioning that the musician could not explain what the attack on his daughter because he didn’t want to cry on camera, but he said that his grandson told him what happened.

He claims that his daughter saved her son by putting him on top of the inflatable and calling for help.

After bursting into tears, the young woman’s father said, «Marifer, as a marine biologist knew the risks of being at sea.»

María Fernanda, a resident of Melaque, had always felt a deep connection with the sea, dedicating her life to the study and preservation of marine life.

At the end of the interview, Ángel Martínez asked the authorities to listen to the experts — in this case marine biologists.

«She would have wanted the shark to be respected, that there not be unbridled hunting of sharks that are not to blame,» he added.
