Do two close encounters mean more sharks in Tasmanian waters?

There have been two high profile shark encounters in Tasmanian waters in less than a fortnight — what is happening?as they were observing a seal colony at Tenth Island, around 10 kilometres off the coast of Beechford in the state's north.10-year-old boy was pulled from a boat into the water by a shark

Professor Brown said seals are also likely responsible for the close encounters with sharks in Tasmanian waters recently. "So there's going to be more sharks down in Tasmania or pushing down than you would have had previously.""One thing that you can guarantee is that where there are seals and seal colonies, and particularly seal pups, then there will be white sharks," Professor Brown said.

"Some people call it almost like a warm-blooded shark, even though that's not technically correct, but they are able to regulate their temperature in that way." "[Our east coast population] estimates are around about 800 adult individuals only, and if you include juveniles, it might be up around the 2,500 mark is the best 'guesstimate'," he said.

Surprisingly, the most dangerous animal to humans is not a large, sharp-toothed predator but rather a tiny, buzzing insect. Mosquitoes are responsible for around 725,000 deaths per year. from world atlas

sharks live in ocean where else did you expect to find them

Fish. In the sea.

There should be a population control on the sharks.

Great White Sharks have disappeared off the coast of Sth Africa maybe they have travelled over to Australian waters looking for food. It is known that their food sources are disappearing due to overfishing.

I think this might go some way to explain the second incident, 'they were observing a seal colony'.

Nope it just means more people in the shark's home

Well, we have fucked up the oceans, so who is surprised that they are coming after us every chance they get. We are just food to them!
