I was at New Symrna beach in Florida about 20 years ago and the surfers were nonchalantly surfing in between a lot of shark fins in the water as if they do it every day. I asked one of the surfers on the beach if he wasn’t worried about surfing among those sharks. His answer - “Nahh, they don’t bother you if you don’t bother them.”
That is pretty much the story with all the species we encounter including our own. But have in the back of your mind; "Until they do." - Tom
