Predominately males - spearfish without learning the risks: safer time, which locations less likely with sharks in the area, wear a Rpela or other shark deterrent. This is why we lobbied gov for BEN signs, banning LBSF along the metro coast and shark emergency kits (in progress)

A reminder: do NOT visit/support aquariums like this one

Let’s remove the sharks to make the ocean “safe”
Removing animals from their environment will destroy it, cause an ecological disaster.
Glad to see how the people voices mattered. Thank you to the local scientific community for stepping in.
