In Topic: South African warning for beach goers because of TV show

Boyd was in a difficult position , pressure from enviromentalists and the gross of the uninformed( shark unwise) public in the one ear.Reasoning in the other . He didn't have much option and publicaly he had to reduce a risk factor . Especially following the outcry prior to the arrival of the Shark Men , and the fact that should it happen tommorow with them around chumming ( despite everyone else doing it ) public emotions will run high (for the wrong reasons). This could be bad for all.

Western Cape to Garden Route is very shark active at the moment , Wednesday saw 1 surfer who experienced a failed attack , 45 min later a paddle boarder got "buzzed" by Great White Shark . Both off Lookout beach, Plettenbergbay. Knysna had a shark warning on Tuesday following a whale carcass on Buffels bay.

Helicopter operators in Plett confirmed the presence of multiple large sharks close inshore on this side of the coast. Last week we had pockets of sardines close inshore.

Shark attack could happen again . It could be that the sea conditions, Sardines building up , is responsible for the presence of sharks irrespectable of what the Shark Men are getting up to.
