Have another meeting, do some more research and a bit more analysis, tag a few more sharks, perhaps present a paper......

I'm considering the idea of teaching a fat guy to kitesurf, and keeping him close at all times.

yeah but then you'll just be serving them an appetizer and a nice fatty main meal

More pressure for Shark culling, perhaps the fisheries department could hang all the dead carcasses under buoys as a deterrent to other sharks, now that we know they don't like the smell of rotten shark.

This may not be relevant to the latest attack, but for the bigger GWS issue...

It seems that Killer Whales and GWS' aren't the best of friends.

This guy surmises what happened...

Also discussed was the fact that, after the attack, all of the great whites vanished.

...in what was documented in this National Geo show;
natgeotv.com/uk/the-whale-that-ate-jaws

Perhaps transmitting Killer Whale sounds from little solar powered sound units, mounted on offshore buoys would get the Great Whites to keep their distance?

But then perhaps that might attract Killer Whales and only swap one problem for another?

Silence and AKWA - really fkn hilarious considering people have lost loved ones to sharks. Not just 2 a year in the whole of Oz (the average) .... rather it has been 5 in WA in a few months.

Dont get me wrong I feel terrible for the families and victims.

Surely everyone would joke about sharks some times?

I didn't mean it to be a jab at them but just about sharks in general.

Lets protect the Great Whites, Is what the numb nuts say.

Shark fin soup is a better idea.

What a horrible way to go

Lets see, catch a shark, X 1,000,000 cut it's fin off, and let go of the shark to slowly drown WHILE IT SINKS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN, throw fin in bucket for later.MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I thought I was the only one who heard it !!

That must've been coming from the one you went over on the downwinder last summer James. Glad it had it's warning music playing.

Hey this might be just me but I have an idea for swimmers and bathers. Just stay out of the ****ing water. Good god, the problem isn't the Sharks. The sea is actually their home believe it or not! If someone you didn't know walked into your house, what would ya do?!

What a load of BS!!
You dont kill euro tourists do you, though Australia is not their home.. Im just as entitled to be in the ocean as any other creature and Im only asking to be relatively safe in a small part of the ocean. The GWs are welcome to the rest, but need to be controlled in popular swimming and watersports areas.

Well if you insist on getting in the water then prepare to get eaten....simples!

I think you have found the wrong website.
Seabreeze is a WATERsports website.
Golf and bowling elsewhere.

So which one of the "it's their ocean" bit people want to be chomped next?

We could drop you off in deeper water, while the rest of us enjoy a coastal buffer and let luck and evolution take its course.

Sharks are Fish yes? And how much fish do we catch every day and eat, nobody is suggesting going out and killing every great white in the ocean, but it looks like a few big ones are realizing that surfers and swimmers are an easy feed, yes we are bony and some of us are not as fatty as others but might be easier than nothing......?

I don't fish, yes I love to eat seafood but in my eyes how is it any more different than hauling tones of fish out off the ocean for us to eat and lets face it every year we get better at getting more fish, is this not the food for the Eco system that Mr Rex hunt says is their environment.

Water is where sharks live which is the basis for this topic...
