A good account on how the tagging is changing and how more awareness is resulting in more shark sightings..

IMHO don't forget the Federal Protection is resulting in more new born white sharks making it to maturity, and protecting the larger ones.

Add in the local attraction of the protected seal buffet -Tom

It should be known that anytime one goes into the oceans or the Gulf, one is in shark infested waters and is literally surrounded by sharks.

They are everywhere.

Doesn’t mean you will get attacked, but it could happen at anytime.

I saw this movie. it’s great! Chief Brody tries to get the mayor to close the beach but the mayo doesn’t want to. I won’t say any more because I don’t want to spoil it for you.

the swimmers got triggered because they are scared of whites?

China has been illegally overfishing all over the place. Just go to your grocery store and look for fish that are not a product of the PRC. There are countries in West Africa that are having all their fish stolen out from under them. THAT is why we now have a shark problem. These fishy beasts are hungry!

It’s not even like China is using the illegally obtained fish to feed their people as very often the catches are being turned into feed for their fish farming operations. Totally scummy to starve West Africans for that, and to destroy entire ecosystems, and the press says not a word over here!

Sharks are a huge problem here in the Keys. If they are not eating our tarpon or snook they are taking our snapper or kingfish on the reef.We need to be able to kill just a few like before. Just enough to keep them from being apex everywhere.

Yes— all that you mention and the fact that the entire sea coast area is a Protected Seal Habitat. Seals cover the place— and sharks luuuuv seals, and don’t distinguish them from the non tailed great white/black/whatever “seal humans”— that are preferred as they are NOT fast in the water.

I read an article a year ago where researchers said they have probably been under counting GW’s. It’s notoriously hard to get numbers on fish in the sea, minus whales and dolphins. GW’s have been protected for nearly 20 years now and I’m sure there are more out there than we know.

To avoid Great white shark attacks, just listen for the cello music in the background. The music starts slow, then speeds up as they get closer.

I dunno, the term “Great White” sounds kind of racist. Perhaps they need to rename these sharks Big Ass Privileged sharks.
