P.S if you watching Shark week I'm on the occasional doco with tagging in Australia.

I like that fact some people are actualy learning from this thread even the fact that some are googling there facts from places such as Christmas Island...etc....it's showing a real turn around from the cull cull approach as its possible people are realising that's not going to be a option in the near future.

The fact is that the sharks are in the sea and we enter there domain. Like I said from the start technology and education is the only way in the short term we can live together.

Ironic shark week is running docos on GWS and it seems they are all about tagging with Accustic and pop off tags which is all to do with pole tagging and fairly basic technology using satellite transmissions....this is not real time tracking as real time tracking needs a personal GPS bolted to the the animal.

Diving company's are closing down and beach uses seem to have a bit of paranoia going on so I belive the stranded attacks will actually decrease now over the next few years Until a good option of alarming people if sharks are in the area and people feel safe again. from the start of this thread I gave this option ...technology, education and warning alarms but it seemed most where to angry at the time to understand this is our options.

I still think 1 death is unfortunate but from 2.5 million in WA over a 12 month period seems the odds are still on our side not the GWS.

Geez you are so full of it.

There hasn't been any turn around by anyone here, no one bagged the tagging and you're not the only person who had that idea, so you can stop congratulating yourself for that.

The people who want culling still want it and that's due to the fact that the 'authorities' have squandered the tagging budget with no results.

I never said I wanted culling, but I can understand the call for it and wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I still disagree with you that the numbers of GWs haven't increased due to being protected, but am willing to admit there is no evidence to show either way, something you can't do.

You haven't changed or learned, and are still narrow minded enough to think that less people in the water is a good thing.

You certainly haven't learned anything about statistics.

Tagging is not a short term solution, but that doesn't matter cause you seem to have some sort of vested interest in it.

I don't need to beat my chest and proclaim how awesome I am, you guys are doing a good enough job for everyone.

Some of us would like to discuss the issue at hand and possibly explore all options, but if you two want to go on like broken records, perhaps you should get a room together and do it in private.

I like this bit

The company is currently designing a device that will assist Commercial Fishermen retain more of the fish that they catch. Twenty to thirty percent of the Commercial Fishing industries catch is destroyed by sharks.

They say later in that the sharks are destroying the commercial industry because the sharks are killing all the fish

But yes interesting, i hand't heard about Sharkstopper.. I guess there could be loads of products out there. I do like Katana's set up and the videos he has on his site are fairly conclusive
