YES! WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!
So lets start with solving the problem..... whats the problem?
Sharks are eating us!!!!!
Whites have changed there feeding habits dramaticly in the last few years.....but why????
Because WE the realy smart humans changed the way we fish for TUNA in the suthern ocean about eight to ten years ago........instead of catching fully grown tuna over a very vast area, suthern ocean, indian and pasific......with hooks!
We now catch entier schools of juvinile tuna in large nets before they even start to migrate. There migration path that they have followed for thousands of years! EG: sothern ocean up the west coast of australia across the indian ocean and down the coast of south africa back into the suthern ocean.
Now sharks being clever sorts of chaps realised that they liked following these hi amino acid proteen rich fishys and developed there own migration patterns around the tuna..........thousands of years AGO!!
We have all seen the pictures of the whites jumping in south africa?????
it only happens at a certin times of the year...... as they prepare to follow the tuna back into the very cold southern ocean, there massive swim across the indian ocean in warmish water was awsome with a hi proten diet but now its time to get a bit of winter fat on us! Seal anybody?
So what would you do if a food sauce (mind the pun) you had followed for thousands of years started to drop in numbers dramaticaly at the juvinille stage and was becoming harder to find?

And as a last little tid bit of info....... we took our new and revolutionary way of catching and farming tuna over to mexico about five years ago......and collapsed the entire tuna industry in three years......ooooh no more tuna in mexico! Hang on that gives me an idea........we could starve the sharks to death!

Cause and effect. How dare sharkes try and survive by comming in closer to where we can see them, just because we are taking there thousand year old eating habbits away from them. ****ing rude realy

I may be wrong here, but the great wgites do travel a long way, but i don't think they migrate across the vast oceans every year chasing tuna. (could be wrong here)
I think they do travel across the oceans maybe once or twice in their lives. Alot retire in sunny California.

Actually last year they reported that a white that had a transmitter attached in South Oz was tracked all the way to South Africa, so what he says may have some credence. Or the shark was taken by a fishing boat, the transmitter fell off and rolled into the boat's bilge, and the boat went to Africa. I'll see if I can find the report.

Africa to Aus and back is a good effort, but was it Heisenberg who said you can't make an observation of something without altering what you're looking at? Not sure of the drag of the GPS attached to a dorsal fin but if it's anything like the drag of a foot and a half of seaweed on mine that shark is mighty pissed off. Probably zig zagged all the way to Africa trying to shake it off.

As for proving they spend 60% of time traveling on the surface - well that's not surprising, with so much drag added to the dorsal fin, if you were a shark what would you do?

It's only in the last few human generations that the fear of large predators has been removed. I reckon the salt water experienced is enhanced by the presence of sharks. Get out there, a bit of fear is beneficial to your mental health, we evolved with it. There's a phd for someone in proving that.
