To help put this in perspective.....you show up at a marina like Sailfish.....Some fisherman is proudly displaying a 12 foot shark....the general public AND virtually every person there that enjoys fishing, will be ooohhing and aweing.... about the great catch, the great struggle, with the praise for the great hunter...I mean great fisherman...the guy that caught the DANGEROUS BEAST...And the more of a man-eater that it can appear to be, the more deadly, vicious and dangerous the shark is believed to be by the "crowd", the more they all enjoy this SPECTACLE... The more they all feel GOOD about this event, and the more likely they will tell some friend about how cool it was to see the MONSTER that was just caught by the great fisherman named so and so....
So here we have a huge group that really does need to understand that there are very different reasons going on for why Sharks need to be protected.
At least the divers are trying to showcase the shark as a large animal that is not a "man-eater", and one that can be safer to be close to than a Moose or a Deer, if you are not IGNORANT of the proper way to behave around one...and that most instances where a human was bitten, it was due to an ignorant behavior on the part of the human.
On the other hand, while it pains me deeply to admit ReckDiver could be right about something......as a group that has actually provded a needed change to decrease the number of sharks killed....the Fisherman have done much more than divers--they ( the politicians leveraging the money from fishing) have a far more effective "Lobby" than Divers do.
