Shaun Tomson: "It seems that artifice has replaced art. I look around at what guys are riding and there’s so much derivation replacing inspiration. I see guys riding boards that we thought were dogs back in the ’70s. It’s clearly a fashion statement."

<div class="story-intro">Great white sharks have been protected in all Australian waters since 1998. The first male great whites born into that protection reached maturity eight to 10 years ago, and their female counterparts started maturing in 2010. In the meantime, the surviving juveniles born before 1998 presumably also mated.
The consequences of this protection arguably are being felt in human casualties, which are increasing dramatically.There have been 15 fatalities in Australia since August 2010 (and 51 injuries since 2012), which is more than triple the average for the past 50 years, according to the Australian Shark Attack File kept by the Taronga Conservation Society. Unofficially, there may be more. When people go missing at sea — as 25-year-old Martyn Tann did off Mullaloo Beach, Perth, in 2013 — their fate is not always recorded as shark-related, even if the missing person is known to be a good swimmer.

Ok ill bite.
Hundreds drown every year, compared to one or maybe two fatalities from sharks. So why if someone goes missing at sea, would you assume they were attacked by a shark, instead of the likely truth that they just drowned
The case you mentioned above had similarities to a case only a week ago, almost the same beach. Bags and clothes on the beach and person missing. Sadly his body turned up nearly 5 days latter and as expected, he had drowned
