More sharks = More attacks

The diver was spearfishing with family when he was attacked. Link below.

I haven’t posted all of the recent attacks but here’s another one …

Veteran surfer Koa Smith is recovering after a shark bit both of his legs at a South Shore surf break. The 38-year-old paddled to shore, crawled across the sand for help and is expected to make a full recovery. ⬇

Incredible resilience

Firstly condolences to his family and friends .
Such sad news and could the authorities prevented this attack ?
They always allow GW’s to swim away after ANY attack regardless if fatal or not .!
A capture/ kill Drumline should be deployed immediately after any attack .
This I asked the then Fishies Minister (Dave Kelly ) after the Parliament rally 7 years ago !

Could it be the same large GW that killed Ken Crew & Dorreen Coyler many years ago ( 4/4.5 mtrs ) . ??
We can never prove this BUT as I said when granted an audience with Dave & his team .
“ WHY DON’T WE ERR ON THE SIDE OF PUBLIC SAFETY “ !!!!!!!
It’s just prudent Common Sense and a simple Duty of Care to the public .
More sharks = More attacks ; simple maths .

The loss of ONE GW will have no affect on the biomass . They have tagged over 1,400 GW’s in NSW alone . They are ocean travelers and have been recorded here in WA . !
Creatures of habit they return to an area again after they get a feed and blood 🩸 taste .

October 23, 2011: A 32-year-old American diver was fatally attacked by a great white shark 500 mtrs off Rottnest Island. This was a 3mtr GW and recovering the body the GW swam after the boat to the island !!!
Doesn’t anyone have ANY COMMON SENSE and can see that they allow a GW that’s killed a human to swim free is dangerous to our community . ?

I’m just sickened by this lack of any awareness and empathy for the families , witnesses and first responders . 🤬

A man in his 30s is in a critical condition after a shark attack on Rottnest Island near Perth.

Everyone who takes any sort of tinnie , boat , launch or large vessel HAS TO RESPECT the ocean . It’s an unforgiving Mother : My deapest condolences to their families and friends .
They went out to help someone that shouldn’t have left the harbour .
Always raise your voice if you see ANYONE attempting to go out in big swell or wind . 🙏😢

‘The vessel capsized. As a result of that, some of the marine rescue crew were trapped in the hull.’ Link below.

7 years have gone by and the Labor Government’s shark mitigation policy is gone more extreme green .
Those people on the sign are not forgotten by me or their families .
Life throws some curve balls that can’t be explained easily .
Well I’m back and I intend to help those families and many others to get some changes happening .
As the SW SAFE SHARK GROUP fb page says .
“ We are a community based group trying to change policy and procedures to make our beautiful coastline safer “

From the front of Parliament House, I was blown away by the signs . The kids had some of the best & will post some over the coming weeks . Privileged to address everyone ; this one is what it’s all about , zoom in on the sign !

Two attacks in the same areas by it seems Two different species of sharks .
My prediction in the early days is unfortunately coming to fruition.
Both shark species are protected either by an incorrect “ endangered species “ ( Great Whites ) or by State Governments woke green policies banning fishing / harvesting
(Bronzes ) .
They are now breeding up in numbers and the multiply affects are starting to reveal themselves .
Governments will eventually have to get onboard this disastrous situation due to multiple shark attacks. There’s no glossy bu****it or clever manipulation of research science that can hide the elephant in the strawberry patch .
Unfortunately these train wreck policies will take years to unravel whilst innocent communities will grow increasingly fearful of entering the water .
Lost will be our innocence , lives and the 🇦🇺 Australian way of life . 😢😙

At This Point, We’ve Done Everything — BUT… Heartbreaking Update From Police as 18-Year-Old Lifeguard Remains Missing at Buddina Beach
A desperate search continues on the Sunshine Coast after an 18-year-old lifesaver vanished at Buddina Beach. Police say they’ve exhausted every lead, scouring the waters with helicopters, jet skis, and rescue crews — yet hope hangs by a thread. The teen’s fate is still unknown, and the situation has left families, friends, and the community on edge as time slips away. Could a miracle still happen, or has the worst already occurred?...

A large‑scale search is underway along Sunshine Coast beaches after a teenage surf lifesaver went missing.

Load up your car 🚗 ; encourage others to go .
Basically if you’re not there don’t winge about it here . If this goes gangbuster ( I think it will ) COOK HAS TO LISTEN !! .
Numbers matter , people matter and fishing families matter .
This is our best chance of getting this corrupted decision reversed .
