I think this whole thing with the increases in shark attacks on humans ..world-wide, is predicated on their survival.
Sharks have been around a whole lot longer than surfers and swimmers,  AND .. ;) these hungry predators are finally getting the message. It is sinking into the shark senses, that there is a new form of food available.. and they are pretty easy. Slow, in fact, not like seals.  So, the word is getting around.. there is some tasty tucker to be had.

ONCE upon a time, this was all new to them. NOW  they are spreading the word. Expect an exponential increase in shark attacks on humans in the next few yrs.

Stay out of the water, and you won't be attacked by a shark.

Next problem!

Pissing the bald monkeys off is not a good evolutionary tactic.

Probably a lot more sharks around now thanks to the whales and seals making a huge come back, well a lot more white pointers around anyway as these are not targeted for food unlike a lot of other shark species which are probably in decline,  also game fishing for white pointers has been banned.

So there would be a double whammy, more people in the water thanks to the human population explosion and more great whites around too thanks to them breeding up on their now protected food supplies of whales and seals.

Well this a lesson learnt by lots of now-extinct species, too late though.

And the thing about sharks ?  They live in the massive oceans that cover our beautiful planet, and we don't. We don't breathe water, so I'd say the odds, one-on-one ,  are definitely in favor of the sharks.

Kill the sharks. easy. we did it to the sabre tooth tigers and other species which threatened our existence.

ahhh Ian. You see sharks live in the sea.  You know? They don't live on shore. You'd advocate //??  Nukin' em?  :D

Let the Asian fishermen loose on them, they will be extinct within a decade.

Living in the past you are.

All SORTS of fishers are out there, doing just that. If you think otherwise you are naive.

actually Emma when we find them in our waters we imprison them and burn their boats.

ahhhhhhhh Iann againn ::) sigh

irrespective of your other words,  the key phrase there is in our waters .

AND.. there are plenty of crook aussies stealing our fish stocks as well.

Surfers are learning to fight back like the one did in South Africa on live TV.

In essence you represent the quintessential 'entitled' generation. 

You think Australia is special ( as do I ) ..but you think we are somehow entitled to keep grabbing onto and using everything in sight,, everyone else be damned.. when in the harshness of reality, we Aussies are just people, like all the other suffering masses in the world.

Its just that until recently we have been isolated .. the" Tyranny of Distance". No longer exists. We are part of the world, and this arrogance is going to take a hard fall. :(

If one species is removed it affects the entire ecosystem in ways that man may not realize for a long time. Like wolves and trees in Yellowstone Park. That link wasn't realized until wolves were reintroduced into the Park and the elk were not able to eat everything in sight so some trees began to mature for the first time since the 1920s.

Not a big fan of cash. Unless it buys me Cooper's and Jamie's. I like trees though. You could take me somewhere were there are alot of trees, ply me Cooper's and Jamie's and i'll be most well behaved.

There isn't a single person on two forums who takes her seriously.  Aussie and Jovial Monk used to employ her intermittently to stalk and terrorize PA but she seems to have wised up to them but you never know where her loyalties lie (I doubt she has any).

The increase in shark attacks can be almost entirely attributed to an increase in the numbers of humans in the water. Not just an increase in beaches near the major cities, but also the spread of the population into areas that were sparsely populated. Especially in Australia. We love a good beachside property.

its funny isnt it.. we think the sharks do not have any rights to be in the ocean.. well not the bit humans choose to be in..

I still blame the greenies.. they are the ones that have stopped a huge amount of fishing for fun....and a bit of food.. >:(


they have insisted on all these aqua national parks... no one is allowed to fish without permission ... ::) ::)

all fine and good.. but that means the fish around our coastline has increased enormously the sharks are not coming in to grab a tasty surfee... they are after the shoals of tasty fish  the greens have laid on for them in abundance..

we have a huge amount of fish that live in the coastal waters....sharks I believe are very intelligent animals..

why go hunting when its laid on for them...and if a tasty human morsel gets in the way... whoppee  dessert


I have always said a shark would have to come through the tap if it wanted me...

do they put nets all round the jungle to stop tigers  I wonder..

and what about those crocs.....how do they stop crocs getting stooooooooooopid humans ...???

just askin.

ummmmmmmm..maybe..

I think theres more fish in the water especially on the coast........ lunch in other words

the shark is a beautiful animal

the human not so much.

The combination of more people, more sharks and less overall food for said sharks drives them closer to the coast. Being hungry, they bite stuff in the water, go figure...

well as I see it.. there is MORE FOOD for sharks...because recreational fishing has been stopped in many places....so more fish in shore.... for sharks../ sharks eat all the time...they dont have a clock like we do...

otherwise we could say dont swim between these hours..

we have to respect its their domane..

we seem to think we can influence the weather...so why not the habits of our sea animals...

we are superior after all to everything... ::) ::)

they put a net up and they think thats protecting them....

it makes sense to some.. ::)

they put up flags

do not swim outside these flags..

couldnt be plainer.. but what happens.. thats right people still swim outside the flags...

its human nature...

almost to a one its someone on a surferboard who runs into a shark.....


do you think they are tempting fate in some way???..

Yes, but like a half a loaf of bread my love will grow hard and moldy. Lisa Jones did say you were a heart breaker ...

Huh?

What?

Excuse me AiA?

I never said that at all.

All I said was that she was as mad as a hatter. And she is totally and utterly insane in the membrane.

You of all people ought to know that!

poor old Mothra, desperate, middle aged  and dateless. Driven to desperation she desperately interacts anonymously over the internet with a self professed kiddie fiddler 5000 miles away. Cyber sex is immninent.

Good grief!

What's all this about?

Blood in the water ;D

Oh I'm not abusing you Phemanderaussierac.

I'm merely indicating my utter abhorrence at your multi trolling.

Ahhh I cannot wait for Phemandermonkrac to log on.

I can assure you that he too will get a serve of my utter abhorrence to his multi trolling.

What an utterly pathetic display by you both!

The increase in shark attacks can be almost entirely attributed to an increase in the numbers of humans in the water. Not just an increase in beaches near the major cities, but also the spread of the population into areas that were sparsely populated. Especially in Australia. We love a good beachside property.

Now thats part of it for shore for shore  ::) but I still reckon THE WORD IS GETTING OUT.

Sharks have been around a whole lot longer than surfers and swimmers,  AND .. ;) these hungry predators are finally getting the message. It is sinking into the shark senses, that there is a new form of food available.. and they are pretty easy. Slow, in fact, not like seals.  So, the word is getting around.. there is some tasty tucker to be had. ONCE upon a time, this was all new to them. NOW  they are spreading the word. Expect an exponential increase in shark attacks on humans in the next few yrs. I agree entirely. Animals know where the pickings are good.

Yes . Indeed they do.

bad luck with a shark:


Quote:

A Venezuelan man whose boat capsized off Aruba in the Caribbean has died after a shark attacked him in the middle of a rescue attempt by coastguards. The Dutch Caribbean coastguard said the man, who was one of seven Venezuelan men thrown into the sea after their boat sank, was moments from safety when the attack took place. In an extraordinary tale of terrible luck, spokesman Roderick Gouverneur said that the man was clinging to a rescue buoy when he was spotted by the coastguard helicopter, which lowered a rescuer to winch him to safety. However, just as the rescuer was about to reach him, the man was attacked by a shark, suffering fatal injuries.

jeez some guy had a shark slide onto his board at Coolum today. ( see news footage no doubt everywhere ) Luckily he was not attacked by the shark. Hmmm that may have been Noosa.

Beach closed to swimming 'cos of a pack of sharks..!!

They said fifteen were cruising the shore. :D

What do you expect when we reduce their food supplies.
What about whales too?  Just as they repopulate after the decimations of the past,  NOW we have giant conglomerates stripping the sea of Krill.  :D

Oh Em, stop it! You're giving me a shark attack, shark attack.. shark attack! You're giving me a shark attack!
More of us go swimming every year, increasing their food supply. Perhaps Tony should swim more often.

Sharks have finally worked out that humans declared war on them for their feeding habits, and are now retaliating.... and are working as a team...... no more Lone Wolf sh!t.. bringing back a few ears after a night out alone.... like a fifteen year old Bosnian boy I met once ....

I expect they'd eat the ears.. or leave them for the lesser sea critters.

They are supreme in their environment and don't need to prove it. Still, if we keep on taking their food, we'll rise to the head of the menu. :)

I'll take your word on that. Post up a pic.

cannot do I'm afraid.. need an update..

but .. they're even less appetisizing than Chicken's feet. OR it could be the other way around.

( had a traditional Chinese meal  :) once)

  I actually preferred the jellyfish tentacles dish. The pigs's trotters weren't too bad, but the plain steamed fish was really yuk. Yeeuw :o

I stuck with the chili prawns as much as possible, and the rice.

That's what all the girls say!  ;)

you guessed it!!

Shark Attack.!

Near Yeppoon .. a swimmer was attacked today, and is now in a very serious condition in Rockhampton Hospital.

Locals expressed disbelief .. so rare,  practically unheard of in that area of the Queensland Coast.


Word is definitely out.

more info.. he is a spear-fisher, and suffers deep lacerations to arm and legs, good luck buddy.

mm? too hard?

seems he was swimming alongside a school of Mackerel.
The reported 3 metre shark, using the school as cover, burst from hiding and attacked the spear-fisher head-on.

No mistake there.

He is now fighting against massive wounds to his arms and legs, attributed to his fighting off the shark.

Now, I don't say the fella shouldn't have been there. But it was his decision , and people have got to realise, that WE DO NOT RULE everything on earth, and we are just meat animals, however highly we regard ourselves.. 

And we have another one ladies and gentleman.

An 11 yr old boy wading in shallow water at Heron Island was attacked, and suffered a large bite to his calf. He is now in hospital.

He is in reasonable condition.
