Damn..this is really sad.
Never encountered one but is on my 'to see' list along with Leatherbacks (as a diver).

I wonder if sightings have increased because this sickness?
No data released from FWC from what I can gather from there reporting program (if one didn't know, you are encouraged to report sightings to FWC).

Damn. It sucks that anything is dying, especially sawfish. They’re so cool.
