Title: should the shark die?
Post by freediver on Dec 3rd, 2006 at 4:37pm
Many people who survive these shark attacks later speak up in support of shark protection.

www.smh.com.au/news/National/WA-shark-hunted-as-teen-victim-recovers/2006/12/03/1165080795581.html

WA Premier Alan Carpenter said the shark should be killed if it threatened more lives and WA Fisheries stressed it would only do so as a last resort.

Fifteen-year-old Zak Golebiowski, from Mt Gambier in South Australia, had been body boarding with his 18-year-old brother off Wharton Beach, 70km east of Esperance when a five metre shark attacked him.

Part of Zak's right leg was bitten off by the huge shark, which also mauled and punctured his other leg, leaving it severely lacerated.

www.smh.com.au/news/National/Fisheries-staff-survey-beach-for-shark/2006/12/03/1165080802258.html

Fisheries authorities have taken to the skies to find the shark that bit off part of a teenager's leg while he was body surfing at a beach in Western Australia on Saturday.

But WA Fisheries stressed its main goal was to warn any other swimmers of the shark and that it would be a last resort to capture and kill the animal.

As well it should be.

With no disrespect whatsoever to the victims of shark attacks, it should be pointed out that sharks were here first and that it is humans who are encroaching on the shark's habitat.

No matter how badly I was injured in a shark attack, I would never call for the slaughter of sharks in revenge.

I've heard of lions getting a taste for human flesh. Apparently it's a lot easier to strip from the bone than wild animals. But I don't think sharks would be the same. They don't like the taste of humans :P and usually spit us out after biting us by mistake. I guess land animals have a lot more bone and a lot less fat and oil than most marine animals. So if anything, sharks would learn to avoid us after an attack. But you never know what a shark will do when it gets real hungry. I think they can go a long time (and distance) between meals so it wouldn't be obvious if it was the same shark, but I expect we would pick up on it eventually.

I'm on the east coast, but there are sharks everywhere. One time I was on the north side of Broughton Island (about 3 hours north of Sydney). I had just strung up a fish and was floating above the top end of steep dropoff. I could just see the bottom in the deep water. Anyway, a very large shark swam along the bottom edge of the dropoff. It looked about as wide as a small car, but seemed short for it's width. I think they get stocky like that when they are large. There aren't many species that get that big. It was probably a tiger or bull shark. Anyway, I turned towards it and gave a bit of a kick, and the shark turned away from me slightly. It was out of range of visibility within a few seconds. There would have been blood in the water and the fish probably weren't completely dead yet, so I headed into the shallows and back to the boat.

Another time I was just north of there at Seal Rocks in a spearing competition. The water was dirty and rough so we were all crammed into a small area. A few grey nurse sharks had also taken up residence. They are very placid sharks, though they look mean. Anyway, one started mouthing at a fish on a mate's float. I didn't want him to loose the fish, or to have the sharks go into feeding mode, so I went over and poked it. It sunk to the bottom and disappeared behind a small ledge. I started swimming away. About ten secodns later I turned around and the same shark was just behind me, within centimeters of the end of my fins. I turned around and gave it another poke and it went away again. I called out to the others in the immediate area and they didn't seem to worried, but I convinced them to move away anyway. Grey Nurses are protected and I wouldn't want one to get shot accidentally.

Australia's peak surfing body wants the shark responsible for an attack on a Victorian man to be hunted down and killed.

Steve Robertson, from Surfing Australia, the national governing body for the sport, said he thought the shark that attacked 25-year-old Peter Galvin should be killed to stop it attacking again.

When asked whether it should be killed he said: "Unfortunately yes. It is not a nice thing, but I don't think any surfer wants it hanging around."

Mr Robertson said the shark was in a marine reserve and may be protected.

"Our fishing mates can't go in there and chase it," he said.

Premier Steve Bracks told Southern Cross Radio he thought hunting down the shark would not prevent further attacks.

Moments after a young man was mauled by a shark near one of Australia's most famous surf beaches late on Monday, police had to convince two men not to jump back into the ocean.

<begin rant>
It never ceases to amaze me that people start calling for sharks to pay the price for wondering what that wierd looking thing in the water is.  They dont have hands people!  If they want to know about you they have to bite you.  Why would they want to know about you?  Well its getting dark and the shark is keen for a feed, its visual system is starting to switch from its day colour version to a more monochromatic night version.  Sure its going to sense you with its other systems but if it cant see you clearly and you obviously havent seen it and tried to escape then a bit more investigation isnt going to hurt it.  Bang someone gets bitten, people like vic hislop start waving their shotguns in the air crying out for shark blood.  A lot of the time he even gets to fire off a few rounds in anger.  bugger him, bugger all you idiots for even thinking that anyone but the person is to blame.  You swim at dawn or dusk you are at much higher risk of being attacked.  If, during the day you get attacked then thats tough luck, wrong place wrong time.

After a shark attack and they gather a posse together to hunt the shark to kill it - I always wonder how do they know what shark to kill?

I'm totally against these revenge attacks by humans on sharks - they're needed for our marine eco-system and it's tragic to think of all the sharks killed to prove a point - whether they kill the correct shark or not.

Most of the victims are happy to leave the shark alone, but instead we have a group of vigilantes going gung-ho to do some slaughter.

It never ceases to amaze me that people who say 'dont kill the shark , we shouldnt be in its territory in the first place'..Well they dont live in the real world.

Out here the waters are riddled with white pointers.....................we cannot go for a swim, fish in peace and just generally they menace us all the time.

Many people out this way have lost theyre lives, and they werent torturing or aggravating sharks, jut going about theyre business. fishing, surfing swimming etc.
The 'fish' out here are the diameter of small cars..huge and ugly/angry and hungry.

I know fishernman who kill them if they get a chance spite of the huge fines involved. My children cant go swimming and it gets very hot here, its rediculous.

Im all for culling them..they are a menace and we have as much right to be in the sea as they do.

The numbers are now out of control and threaten us every chance we get.

I was waterskiing once and a shark. ponter, followed me around the bay.The boat operator, a friend, didnt alert me to the fact as I would have panicked and fell in the water..............its rediculous to be a casualty of a shark for doing something so innocent as waterskiing.

Who was I hurtung, not the shark thats for sure!!!!

I thought people went swimming all the time there, and it was the weather rather than sharks that kept them out of the water. As for fishing, sharks are a sign of a healthy ecosystem. I doubt that white pointers cause fishermen many problems - at least not the boat bound fishermen. I'd much rather fish in healthy waters and have to deal with the odd shark than to fish in waters where a keystone species is almost extinct.

Shark circles girls at Byron Bay beach

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Shark-circles-girls-at-Byron-Bay-beach/2007/11/22/1195321927983.html

Two teenage girls were stranded on a shipwreck as a shark circled below them, say Surf Life Saving authorities at Byron Bay in northern NSW.

The girls, named by the Northern Star newspaper as Byron Bay High School students Jett Coates and Caitlin Robinson, both 14, were diving off the wreck when one of them spotted the "large dark shark".

The beach was closed for a short time while lifesavers looked for the shark, but it was not sighted again.

"There have been nine sightings of sharks in the Byron Bay area in the last two weeks," Mr Leahy said.

"It's unusual in that these sharks are close to swimmers, that definitely concerns us."

Wednesday's incident follows last month's attack on a woman who was knocked from her sea kayak by a shark near Byron Bay.

The woman suffered a bite to her arm requiring stitches.



Increased shark activity normal: NPA

http://news.smh.com.au/increased-shark-activity-normal-npa/20071219-1hzn.html

Increased shark activity on the NSW coast is normal for this time of year, the NSW National Parks Association (NPA) says.

A South Australian man surfing near Newcastle survived a shark bite on his right buttock, becoming the third person in NSW to have a brush with a shark in the past two months.

The attack on 31-year-old Ben Morcom followed dozens of reports of increased shark activity at popular NSW beaches, including those in Sydney, Newcastle and Byron Bay.



Shark attack closes NZ beach

http://news.smh.com.au/shark-attack-closes-nz-beach/20080114-1lwc.html

A shark attack on an inflatable boat has caused the closure of a popular swimming beach in New Zealand.

Omaha Surf Club president Daniel Baturic said Omaha Beach, just north of Auckland, would remain closed until at least Tuesday, after lifeguards sighted a shark 100m off shore at around 2pm (1200 AEST) on Monday.

He told NZPA, sharks were reported swimming off the beach and a boat was sent out to confirm the sighting.

The boat's crew had been guiding a shark away from the beach for about 30 metres when it turned around and attacked the boat.

No one was hurt but part of the boat was deflated, he said.

Mr Baturic said the shark's behaviour could have been caused by bait being laid by a commercial fisherman for crab pots.

About 45 pots had been put out near the beach and about one kilo of bait was thrown into the water, he said.

Residents had been trying to do something about the fisherman's activities but it was legal and within quota, he said.

Shark kills surfer, 16, off NSW coast

http://news.smh.com.au/shark-kills-surfer-16-off-nsw-coast/20080408-24h1.html

A teenage boy has told lifesavers the sea turned red after his 16-year-old friend was fatally attacked by a large shark while surfing at Ballina in northern NSW.

The boy, from Wollongbar, west of Ballina, died after being bitten on the legs and body while bodyboarding with his friend at Ballina's popular Lighthouse Beach about 8am (AEST) Tuesday.

Mr Leahy also indicated that the shark was very large.

As he paddled out, the boy saw a "large, dark shadow" moving away from his friend, police said.

"Despite seeing that, he's still gone to his friend, retrieved him, brought him back to the shore and attempted to revive him," Insp Clark said.

Rough seas and poor visibility have delayed any search for the shark.

Local Bill Stephens, who fishes regularly in the area, said he believed shark warning signs should be erected at the beach, which is near the North Wall - a breakwater at the entrance to the Richmond River.

All beaches in Ballina had been closed as a precaution.

"The state government has initiated the Shark Attack Response Plan, with a (Department of Primary Industries) scientist on the way to Ballina to assist police and the coroner with their investigations," he said in a statement.

The manager of the Ballina Beach Resort, close to the site of the attack, said bull sharks had been seen recently in North Creek, near the Richmond River estuary.

Manager of life sciences at Sydney's Taronga Zoo, John West, said recent rain on the NSW north coast would have resulted in an increase in shark numbers in the area.

"If there's a lot of freshwater around, and it probably sounds as if there was, the animal's more likely to be a bull shark, because bull sharks are able to move up into fresh water, whereas the white pointers and tigers and other whalers don't."

Title: Witnesses saw 'blood in water' as shark takes man

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,24846583-948,00.html

BREAKING NEWS: AN air and sea search was launched off Port Kennedy, 30km south of Perth, early today after reports that a snorkeller had been taken by a shark.

Witnesses who saw the 51-year-old man in trouble off the dog beach near Cote D'Azur Gardens, Port Kennedy believe he was attacked at about 7.15am.

It is understood that a father and son were swimming when the incident happened. The son swam safely to shore to raise the alarm but his father is still missing at sea.

The RAC rescue helicopter, Water Police and Fremantle Sea Rescue boats were searching the ocean as family members of the man, who is believed to be from the Port Kennedy area, huddled on the beach for comfort.

Family spokesman Steve Cant said Daniel (the missing man's son) did not want to talk about the attack.

"We know that a shark was involved and the incident happened around 7.05," he said.

Mr Cant said the family was in the process of letting relatives know about the tragedy.

Police spokesman Mark Valentine said witnesses had reported seeing ``something pretty violent'' happening in the water and there was blood also colouring the water.

``Something very traumatic has happened there and we are treating it as a probable shark attack,'' Mr Valentine told AAP.

``There was lots of talk among witnesses at the incident location about seeing fins in the water but we can't yet say whether there was definitely a shark out there.''

The beach is a popular swimming location and there were many people out because of warm weather conditions, Mr Valentine said.

Police, marine rescue patrols, a rescue helicopter and volunteers on quad bikes were patrolling the beach and scanning the waters for any signs of the missing swimmer.

About two dozen other beach users, joggers and walkers were also watching the drama unfold.

I can't see a big problem with killing the shark.
They usually won't attack humans and generally don't like the taste. But for the select few that roam the territories where people swim and have proven that they will eat a human, it's better to just get rid of them IMO.

It would be better if it went to use and ended up on somebody's dinner plate, but a killer shark may not be too appetising for most.
Although the Japs might pay $10,000 a kilo for it.

So, not to disrespect the shark, the ocean is it's habitat and they are great creatures, but we kill creatures directly and indirectly for far less reason every minute of every day.
I just ate a part of a cow, who I'm sure was once a very lovely creature, but it tasted good.

It's not about revenge killing, it's about making the beaches safer.
It's pretty usual for the same shark to hang around the same area, or to return to that area.
If you've got one which is particularly large, aggressive, and not afraid to take on humans, and it hangs around areas where lots of people use the water, then sorry sharky, you've got to go.
True, there may another one to take it's place, and there may also be other dangerous sharks in the area, but to take out the one which is known to be of particular danger isn't going to be a big issue to the ecosystem compared to the effect of starting your car every morning.

They can pinpoint the shark that they're after with reasonable accuracy and lessen the danger to beachgoers, so take it out I say.
If it happened in the open ocean, then I'd reckon that a shark hunt wouldn't even be talked about.

Not sure this applies to out right slaughter. More like domestication/food. If you don't want to get eaten by a shark, don't go swimming.

True story: I went swimming in Blackwattle Bay, the one right near the Sydney Fish Markets. I assume fish guts, and other discarded bits are dumped in there. This would attract crabs/small fish, to attract bigger fish, to attract sharks. One thing I never noticed was birds such as seagulls resting on the surface of the water, tells me there are apex predators in there.

I never got eaten by a shark. One of the silliest things I've done, but still, I survived.

I don't think sharks are normally a serious threat to birds. I'd be more worried about sharks attracted directly to the fish market runoff (if there is any) than the crabs that eat it. Sydney would be one of the safer areas, because it is so heavily fished.

You'd be surprised at the size of whalers caught in Sydney harbour, and the frequency.

It doesn't get in the media though. Government needs tourists!

Just around the corner from Darling Harbour, west (obviously) at that marina thing they have going on there, I have seen a school of probably 100 tailor, cruising the surface, each at least 70cm long.

Plenty of fish in the harbour. Just gotta know how to catch them.

Title: Number of man-eating sharks growing

Number of man-eating sharks in Australian waters is growing: experts

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24857481-5000540,00.html

THE number of man-eating sharks in Australian waters is growing, according to experts, who blame the surging numbers on a ban on killing the predators.

Marine biologist Adam Smith said initial research and accounts from fishermen and divers pointed to a rise in the number of sharks in Australian waters.

Dr Smith, who has created the Great Australian Shark Count to obtain firm data on numbers, said great white sharks were no longer allowed to be hunted and fishermen faced fines of about $20,000 and a possible jail sentence for breaking the law, The Australian reports.

"They were once targeted as trophy fish by game fishermen, or caught by commercial fishermen because they were a nuisance," he said.

Dr Smith said globally shark numbers were under threat, but Australian law protected them.

Shark researcher Terry Peake, who established the Shark Research Institute of Australia, agreed that the ban on killing great whites had helped their numbers.

"Nobody is fishing for the great white, it has no human predators and commercial fisherman are telling us they're seeing an increase in numbers," he said.

Mr Peake also warned that increasing contact between great whites and humans could occur as many of the shark's traditional food sources, including salmon species, are more aggressively fished.

"For every one shark attack, there are reports of 20-50 close calls," he said.

The news came as a Western Australian couple reported a close encounter with a 5m shark in the same waters where a 51-year-old man was killed in a shark attack four days ago.

Port Kennedy Beach reopens after shark scare

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,27574,24858986-2761,00.html

PORT Kennedy Beach has reopened this morning, a day after a huge shark menaced a couple as they set crab nets just 50m from shore.

The dramatic encounter happened 500m from where Brian Guest, 51, was taken by a huge shark on Saturday. His body has not been found.

Authorities have been patrolling the beach but there have been no shark sightings during the past 24 hours.

The City of Rockingham today reopened the beach but will continue shore based patrols as searing temperatures encourage swimmers back into the water.

In the latest encounter, Paul Vickery and his wife Lesley, from Warnbro, were menaced by a great white shark as big as their 4.2m dinghy.

The shark circled the boat before lurching at their boat.

``It was just like Jaws except he had his mouth closed,'' Mr Vickery said..

``The boat lurched when he rolled over and he either touched it or the displacement of water made us tip.

``It scared the 'bejesus' out of us.''

The beach will be closed again if there are any further shark sightings.

Why don't you just accept some good news for a change FD - fish no's are healthy in the Harbour. Yes there will be fewer fish if you fish for them rather than leave them alone. If you think we should do the latter why don't you just join Peta or the NPA.

A Navy diver is in a critical but stable condition after being attacked by a shark off Fort Denison on Sydney Harbour


Quote:
The man is undergoing surgery at St Vincent's Hospital for severe injuries to his right hand and right thigh.
...
Taronga Zoo shark attack expert John West says no-one has been bitten by a shark in Sydney Harbour for 12 years.

"They're very, very uncommon," he told ABC 702 Local Radio.

"We've got to go back 12 years until we find where a swimmer was bitten up in Parramatta River.

"Then there's a couple in between, in 2002 and 2000, where rowers had their paddles or their skis bitten by a shark up in Parramatta River."

Mr West says the shark was most likely one of the bull sharks that feed in the harbour at this time of year.

"The bull shark occurs in the estuarys along the east coast of Australia every year and around this time," he said.

"All of the bites from bull sharks occur in February and March. Usually there's more swimmers in the water around that time.

"The sharks appear in the harbour every year and the bull shark in particular will swim all the way up the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers, so I'm not surprised that they're in the harbour."



I had encountered a 6 feet bull shark up in river in fresh water last May. The bloody thing took a bream that I released right next to my kayak just down stream from first set of rapids then it went through the rapids up stream.  Before that I believed that sharks can't go through the rapids as it is quiet shallow and the shark's top was right above the water. Some children were swimming about 200 meters down from the place and when I went there a told them to get out of the water they thought I was kidding them.

Sharks will eventually be slaughtered anyway. Maybe not extinct, but definitely be monitered and controlled when we kill them for food as we relocate into our underwater cities...

Why will we have underwater cities?

Because as the holes in the ozone layer get bigger, we have two choices: Spend madeup numbers of money on projects to somehow close the gaps in the sky, or relocate to the bottom of the ocean away from the sun's ultraviolet rays. The sky is made up of h20, clouds exist to destroy the hydrogen, that's why it rains. That's chunks of the sky falling...

Then, we'll have a couple hundred thousand years to plan our next raid. Possibly moving off the planet. Afterall, if we can master the preassure of ocean living, we can probably tackle Mars and poo...
