I CALL TO REGULATE IT , ALSO. ALSO, NO SHARK FEEDING ON DIVES OR NO SHARK DIVING.

See, that picture says it all. All that photographer needs is that shark to have a bad day. That is life, risky business. I am glad he is having fun swimming with an apex predator.

> Fish Waste Collection and Disposal

I totally agree that the practice of disposing of fish waste in the sea near the shore should be strictly prohibited. Additionally, it is recommended that a shark monitoring system employing tagging mechanisms be implemented. This would allow for the monitoring of shark populations and provide valuable insights into their movement patterns and behaviour. By introducing a tagging and monitoring regime, we can gather vital information to facilitate decision-making processes such as beach closures or the placement of warning signs, all while maintaining a non-intimidating approach that does not alarm beachgoers.

> Fish Waste As Fertilizer

In many Asian countries, especially in coastal areas, fish waste is commonly used as fertilizer. Fish waste, including parts like fish heads, bones, and guts, is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are beneficial for plant growth. This practice helps in recycling organic waste from the fishing industry and contributes to sustainable agriculture.

OUR WASTE is the problem. You cannot blame, a hungry shark anymore than you can blame a hungry stray dog from eating food scraps thrown on the street. Someone will be bitten. Street, dock, cannal or bay it's the same.
Fish scraps like food scraps are a good source of fertilizer for our limestone Islands, we spend a lot of money on imported commercial fertilizers when there is a readily available source.
Composting is a viable business model once the logistics are in place. Government pushing agriculture would be a natural customer.

But who would be collecting from the docks and restaurants? Not glamourous enough!! Easier to blame others for our lazy arse throwing trash on the street or off the dock.

Just picture this: hand over the thrilling job of collecting fish waste to a 'White Person' who unveils their fermentation and bottling process in the news, and when the fertilizer products start appearing on the shelves at CBS and Kelly's, priced at $35 dollars a bottle; then we'll have every 'tom, dick, and harry' racing to get their hands on fish waste faster than you can say 'Noni and Moringa'!

So, help me here.

The woman was killed by the shark nearby Sandals.

That is NOT near Potters Cay or Montagu Beach.

So, what other excuses are these ppl gonna find for "protecting sharks"????

This is ridiculous ....... Get rid of man eating sharks.

Indeed, here's some 'Helpful' insight into the situation. The Bahamas, quite uniquely and perhaps intentionally, some may say; boasts the world's largest concentration of Bull, Tiger, and Hammerhead sharks. Their migratory routes span from Clifton, Goulding Cay, Bimini, Freeport, and Norman's Cay to Green Cay near Rose Island. Divers, myself included, can attest to fascinating encounters with these majestic creatures in these areas.

However, the crux of the matter lies in the fact that many Bahamians are not intimately familiar with the seas surrounding us. While these underwater realms are teeming with life, there's a gap in understanding among our people about the developments beneath our noses, should we choose to take notice. The call for "Help" resonates in addressing potential risks associated with shark encounters and, more significantly, in fostering a deeper connection and awareness among Bahamians regarding the marine environments that define our beautiful country.

All the same area, all relative to a predator that can swim the distance in seconds.

Sharks or no sharks, throwing all that rotting material into the dock needs to stop. It just makes sense. And Sandals isnt that far from Arawak Cay... if youre a shark.
