I didn't see that you asked about dying. I pasted in the table from last year. 2 fatalities world wide from sharks: 1 Oz, 1 Reunion, 0 Grom's Dad-land.Ranking somewhere in the deep thousands in terms of things a person should fear, then
Tuna fatalities from bulls? Not mentioned.
A low number I can believe, but that....can't be trueI didn't see that you asked about dying. I pasted in the table from last year. 2 fatalities world wide from sharks: 1 Oz, 1 Reunion, 0 Grom's Dad-land.

I just wish people would stop playing with sharks. Stop interacting, diving with, feeding, catch and release, stop all the beastiality. Stuff(you know who you are, you fuggin perverts) all that stuff.
OCSearch tagging and similar is good in my ignorant opinion, but at some point, I think when a shark See's any hint of humans, they need to be like "What The Fuck Is THAT?!!" and totally bail scared as sh!t.
I used to work on dogfish boats, I've been up to my knees in those cute little fuggers, but I gotta tell ya, there is nothing cute about a mako, tiger, or bullshark.
Don't protective net systems (like Australia, South Africa) work?
If you're that scared, like perhaps in the future maybe that's a good idea, like drinking bleach. Let's look into that.

A lot of people are down with taggin' sharks.
Duh.
These are dolphins, but one thing leads to another, we needn't split hairs.

4 fatals in Aus this year.
2 either side of where I live.
Encounters are weekly events.
I know more people attacked by white sharks in the last 5 years than have had car crashes.
Risk is relative to where you live and surf.
White sharks are far more of a risk to me and my family than Covid 19.

visited the wonderful country of OZ for surf multiple times 70's/90's.
though dumb luck my shark timing was pretty good.

We had a fatal great white attack on Cape Cod last year and another one this year in Maine.
As the saying goes, "There are lies, damned lies and statistics."
so, after overfishing the oceans - commercial and recreational - we now need to get involved in trying to cull down an ocean predator because they're affecting humans' ability to try and scrape any fish off the bottom of the rapidly emptying barrel that is the ocean? how about we impose a total ban on commercial and recreational fishing for like 20 years to give the environment a chance to bounce back and balance out? no? ok.
makes TOTAL sense.

It makes sense until it doesn't. Not sure if you're only talking about USA either. Ban anything and it opens up organized crime, black markets, etc etc. Scraping fish off the bottom in USA and drifting are also nearly a thing of the past. If you're talking global, I wouldn't know where to begin.
