Why don't you clue me up then????? My guess is as good as yours as neither of us is a scientist or GWS expert, btw telling me to stay out of the water doesn't change the facts that GWS attacks have dramatically increased in the last 20 years, have a stab in the dark at what might have caused that!!! Ps there is not too many options on the answer.
Why should i clue you up, why not go ask a professional shark marine biologist on and shark inter species behaviour, especially whilst feeding. Again ill say, clearly sharks are not out looking to eat humans.. Do they from time to time? Yes. As Juan Oliphant explained to me, "I hate Brussel sprouts, but if I'm starving lets face it, ill eat anything"
Theres could be lots of answers to the shark problem. Its just you only want to think it yours.
SO your answer is that the fact we are seeing more sharks can only be due to an increase in numbers.. Well could it not be that we are seeing more sharks close to shore, that in fact the numbers have not increased but the feeding habits of the sharks has changed and they are coming closer and staying closer longer due to their food having changed..More seals in close than ever before. Seal Colonies are now all year round were they were once only seasonal. Water temp changes due to currents moving closer to shore or offshore also changing feed. Just before we had at the spike in attacks, we also were catching fish in metro and southern WA in unprecedented success, that were previously never found this far south.
SO a total change has presented it self in our local ecosystem yet you say an increase in great whites could only be due to one thing..Very short sightedness..
