White shark tagging costs money, and a lot of those sharks are just filmed and not tagged.

There are a lot more sharks out there that cannot ping a receiver because they are not acoustically tagged. -Tom.

I want to know if they’re eating Democrats

They’re going to need a bigger boat 🦈

So then tagging more sharks results in more shark detections?

[ClearCase_guy]

Each individual shark is seen about 3 times a day, every day, through the year.

I see my cat about as often.

Good news - now they can’t make some bogus claim about climate change dwindling their numbers 🤪

I knew somebody was going to say that. 😏 They're going need something about the size of a true oceangoing trawler.

• If there is an increase in Great White sightings: global warming
   
• If there is a decrease in Great White sightings: global warming

Thanks to wildlife protection laws seal population are coming back. Coming back in areas where there are people, the seal predator - Great Whites are just following his food source.

An ignoramus wrote that headline.

After JAWS came out the news media had a hysteria fit fearing people would wipe out the sharks as they were killing so many of them.

The animal rights people put an end to the baby seal harvest about 25 years ago. The seal population has increased in New England waters. More seals, more sharks.

True enough, but the reason the sharks have increased; is they are protected.
If they were not protected, they would end up dead on the dock as they were in the past. - Tom

I have no sympathy for sharks, and especially not maneaters. The fewer big sharks, the more fish that’s left for everyone else, AND the fewer shark attacks on humans. The sharks have been at the top of the ocean’s food chain for millennia. Humans hunting a few to make soup isn’t going to change that. The sharks will probably out last the humans on the planet. They would likely survive a nuclear war that kills off most of us.
