Shark fishing tournaments followed by public fish fries. No brainer.
Drop the PETA protesters twelve miles out at sea ;)
OC Register news item from one year ago:
For decades, humans have terrorized great white sharks, killing them for sport, killing them in pursuit of other sea creatures, killing them out of fear.
Thursday, shark experts happily reported that a sighting of two juvenile great whites off the coast of Seal Beach could be evidence that the great white population is coming back. Since March 1, people have reported 11 sightings of sharks — eight were reported to be great whites — from San Onofre to Seal Beach.
Those increased numbers of great whites have several contributing factors. In 1994, the state made commercial and recreational great white shark fishing illegal. In the same year, near-shore gill nets were banned. In 2013, great whites were placed on California’s Endangered Species List.
“The recovery of the great white is one of California’s greatest conservation stories,” said Chris Lowe, a Marine Biology professor at Cal State Long Beach and director of the Shark Lab.
Shark watchers joined in Lowe’s excitement Thursday.
“It’s good news,” said Sandy Trautwein, the curator of Fish and Invertebrates at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. “It may mean that the protections we put in place are finally working. Sharks keep our local marine eco-systems healthy.”
