I had one under my board last Friday. And then I was just drying off on the beach when another surfer was chased out the water not five minutes later.
Like I always said, if we want to protect the apex predators of our oceans, we also need to protect their food resources. It’s no good raping and pillaging our oceans to satisfy the global export markets, and then leave the sharks hanging and desperately looking for food closer to our shores.
Years ago I had a tank full of tropical fish including 3 angelfish.... eventually only one Angelfish remained... every fish was attacked and eaten.. moral to the story, too many apex predators are bad for the environment....
Sharks should be culled.... you cannot keep taking out the delicacies and leave the apex predators.. ... we should be walking around the beaches seeing seals everywhere.... and fairy penguins... nifty little animals like that.
You know I think the ocean is the most important thing especially the fry and smaller species because those animals feed the entire planet... they feed bigger fish, they feed sea mammals, they feed sea birds... and us...
I fucking hate sharks.. they eat everything.. the seals and whales and turtles and there are far, far too many sharks...
My family are crayfishermen .... my brother said our waters are infested with sharks... they are a fucking nuisance and worse.
Also, I wished I had the news story showing this mother whale protecting her calf fighting off sharks that surrounded her 25 rows deep at least... sharks are no where near being on any endangered list like they try to claim.. . They are running out of seal to eat... the sharks are responsible for beaching whales as well...
Nah... don't look at me to defend sharks... apex predators should only be 10% of the animal kingdom....
They are all coming down from Asia because the Asians over fish their reefs...and we at least TRY to control fishing... we have to breed bloody snapper and dhufish then release them in the wild now so anglers have got something to fish...
This is what I would do if I ruled the world...
1. REMOVE the plastic pollution...asap
2. Cull the sharks
3. Ban fishing for two years to fish stocks up...
