Hawk, I love to swim in the ocean. The thing to fear is sharks which have great big mouths and teeth with which they frequently bite people. <MY POINT is that you don't destroy a natural resource merely to satisfy one's taste for a delicacy. If it were essential to the preservation of mankind, > It is essential to the preservation of mankind that wild things don't get to eat me. There are some reserves for wild things with plenty of other places to go. But sharks are in ALL oceans. ALL coasts of New Zealand have sharks ready and willing to bite people. If we had a shark reserve and they would stay there, that place could have millions of sharks and that would be fine by me. But they won't stay put. So to enjoy swimming in oceans, the sharks have to be tamed or removed or otherwise controlled. Maybe there is something I could wear to stop shark attacks. A little ankle bracelet which would send out a "don't bite or you die message" would be ideal. If there were just a few sharks left, the chance of a shark attack would be extremely low. My guess is that the reduction in shark numbers is more to do with depleted fish numbers than because they are hunted by people. Around the coast of NZ 60 years ago, the sea was teeming with fish. Now they are much more sparse. Sharks have to compete with dolphins [which have brains] for the available fish. People keep the fish stocks at a managed but lower level than they were. Fisheries management is strict in NZ. Mqurice

Hawk, I agree completely. It's truly sad and pathetic that people are destroying a noble fish...
