White Shark Tourism: A Dangerous Gamble | Blue Realm | Free Documentary Nature

[@Rundu1987]

Awesome documentary. All sharks should be protected.

[@TheMaisiewoofwoof]

We're losing so many species because of certain nations. I'd like to see trade embargoes placed on these nations until they step up and actually do something.

[@erinmack9384]

Whaling too.

[@hydro.pl.27]

That’s up to the civilians of those countries along with some military backing and that can be solved. For poaching, whaling, etc. much more hardcore policies need to be put in place. Once again though this falls on the civilians and what they will do about it.

[@kieranhart5776]

We’ll put. Great idea!

[@Me-zr2xi]

Wow all you people are so okay with forcing others to do what you think is right. Do you like to be forced into things? Why so quick to use aggressive tactics? Why not try something that has proven to be effective and not traumatizing like education. Here's an idea, sharks are killed for shark fin soup because it's a status symbol, so change it to a shameful symbol, like when the dentist killed the lion, and people will change their behavior. People stop eating shark fin soup then fisherman will stop killing sharks. All without using force, use people's own human nature against them, ie shame.

[@TheMaisiewoofwoof]

@@Me-zr2xi all those things have been tried for years to no avail.

[@Joe.Rogan.]

Lol.. they spent all that time talking about how great it is they can get the sharks to come without chumming or baiting the water then all of a sudden they're like "But this year we're allowed to get a permit to bait the waters... sooo yeah." Make up your damn minds.

[@reneesantiago6496]

No......they are allowed a half tuna or so to throw out on a line. Not the constant just chumming and baiting galore.

[@nicolasy3392]

Shocking Documentary to watch . I'm already aware that so many sharks being slaughtered just for their fins is awful . What was more shocking to see is how two fishermen hawled a shark with a hook through it's eye & the other partly through it's jaw just to cut the fins off then dump it back in the water to die , how evil is that 😳 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬 it's horrifying & brutal & so wrong . It needs to be stopped altogether!

[@nicolasy3392]

I don’t understand people. We really can just make the unanimous decision to not consume declining and endangered species? Is it really that hard?

[@kellyrose4598]

I lost it when the seal climbed on the boat so cute

[@karenpiotte90]

Many white sharks up and down the New England coast with protected seals. Also Sable Island now a National Park off Nova Scotia has a 400,000 individuals in the seal colony. That's got to be a lot of pee and poo floating around. A woman was bitten and killed by a white shark last week in the Gulf of Maine. Scary 1st time recorded.

[@henrybentsen6204]

I saw a 15 footer from the breezy point jetty in NYC. Swam right under the rock I was fishing from. Many attacks in Rockaways future. It is a long known birthing area for GWS.

Illegal Indonesian fisherman by the thousands are finning sharks everyday off Australian waters…. That’s the real threat…

Protecting White Sharks in Australia and South Africa has lead to a peak in attacks -it's that simple. How anyone can surf or dive freely in these waters is beyond me however.

[@mnj640]

You don't think it's cage diving and the chumming of the water? There are two outfits in South Australia and dozens in South Africa. Tagged sharks have been documented travelling between these two continents. These are the two countries with the most attacks

[@mikemelina7395]

A lot of these documentaries are rife with cliches that really ruin them. "gentle giants", "mistaken identity"..etc. Finning is a heinous and wasteful practice, as was the slaughter of American Bison for fur coats. I'm absolutely against finning, that said, sharks are Not our "friends" and they've been out there eating seals for tens of millions of years. A huge great white attacks a surfer, it's "mistaken identity"(seal). A huge tiger shark attacks a surfer, it's "mistaken identity"(turtle). Do you really think that a shark that's fed itself on seals, or albatross fledglings and sea turtles it's entire life can't tell the difference in 3'-20' of water where almost all shark attacks occur? See how deliberately they swim? They know when they're attacking a surfer, they want them out of their territory, same as when they bite an abalone diver, or in most cases, other sharks. Sometimes, they mean to feed on people and completely consume them, which is documented. All the shark divers are doing is habituating sharks to boats as a food source, which puts stranded boaters in the crosshairs. 90% of this is common sense and obvious, so 90% of this we all knew 50 years ago.

[@emilymccarty6343]

Totally agree they know the difference in heart beat &smell as other docu:s have stayed I don't think it's accidental I believe they are territorial like any other wild animal.

[@repetemyname842]

mm: agree, this "mistaken identity" is just something many scientists have decided to say, there is zero proof of their claims. Makes for better tourism tho, lol. Large fish are predatory and territorial, they stake out the best fishing spots and when a human intrudes on that zone they are definitely in harms way. They will kill you AND eat you, its what they do.

[@mrkipling2201]

Definitely agree.

[@mrkipling2201]

[@henrybentsen6204]

.man did you get e t the bison killing wrong. It was to complete the genocide of native Americans by starvation. It actually says so in NYs museum of natural history at the bison exhibit. The man who saved the bison put an African man in the monkey house in NYC's Bronx zoo. His name: Ota Benga. This was in the 20th century!

[@awesomebeard1973]

"Pink Ape"??? LOL They're so dedicated to this easily refutable fiction.

[@JohnPaul-xi4dz]

All sharks are calm and pose minimal threat under controlled diving conditions but are also opportunistic man eaters if they sense injured prey.

[@clownz8129]

Tell that to the guy who got devoured by a 6m GW in full while diving like 1km off the coast of Sardegna in 1986 in front of his son. Nope my man. If a shark is hungry they are not safe to dive with. Coastal sharks usually live in an abundance of food.

[@francostacy7675]

I see nature including humans. We act like we are separate. I don’t want to see anything hunted to extinction but if humans use something of a shark we are no different than lions needing a zebra, an eagle needing a salmon, or a robin needing a worm or a termite needing wood. I think we are smart enough to determine an acceptable and even a healthy level of hunting or farming animals or plants. A lot of factors and concerns should be analyzed but scientists that have dedicated their life to animals are to close to the subject to be non biased to consider all the issues and to be the ONLY source for laws and regulations

[@henrybentsen6204]

But we should stop associating people with feeding. Numbers of attacks, still rare, will increase. We had seven on long Island in 2022.

[@francostacy7675]

@@henrybentsen6204 Not sure what you mean. Sharks sometime bite to explore, they also mistakenly bite and release because we are no good, but sometimes they are eating a human or at least the arm or leg and they know it’s not their natural food but meat is meat, just like us at KFC. Some act like a shark or a lion, bear or tiger attack is always because humans did something wrong or the animal was confused. We are part of nature and in nature sometimes different species collide because of food, territory, fear, protection of their species or their breeding rights and some animal retreats, gets hurt, killed or eaten.

[@keelyjohnson462]

102 yeah it's true they teach the sharks to associate people with food and then the sharks get hungry and Bam the next guy takes the heat

For all the people who say they hate sharks and they want to see them disappear, stop being so daft and consider how damaging that would be for the ecosystem and the environment. Without them, we would see the explosion of other species and that isn’t a good thing. They’ve been here a lot longer than us, let’s make sure that they’re around a lot longer.

[@henrybentsen6204]

This cage diving has countries culling the very sharks that they taught we were food.

[@mrkipling2201]

​​@@henrybentsen6204this cage diving, and the way that divers are now hand feeding sharks, is a possible reason for the increase in shark attacks in certain places. Not an increase in attacks in general, because attacks are around the same level that they've been for years and years. Attacks in places like the Red sea in Egypt have seen a huge increase in cluster attacks in 2010 and in the past year or so. That's probably due to the topography of the ocean there, and the divers hand feeding sharks. Oceanic White Tips, Tigers and Mako sharks are the species responsible. We saw an attack in June 2023. Vladimir Popov was fatally attacked by a Tiger shark not far off the coast of the Red sea in Egypt.

Great channel for the tree hugging I//Q challenged. How bout you use a pic of a great white shark in the thumb. Look for footage of the most annoying vocal shark advocates feeding and petting sharks while saying they're harmless and should be treated like dogs. Do you see the garment they wear over their wet suit? It's called chainmail. It was first used to prevent sharp edged weapons from penetrating the skin. Take a wild guess why divers claiming sharks are harmless wear it?

[@henrybentsen6204]

Incidentally it was NYCs first president of the Bronx Zoo that saved the Buffalo & created the zoo's most popular exhibit a black man (Ota benga) in the Bronx zoos monkey house in the 20th century. Ota eventually committed suicide. Finning at least uses some of the shark in its depravity but the killing of the Buffalo was to starve the survivors of the world's worst genocide into extinction.

[@clownz8129]

Thx for your comment. I've been interestednin sharks since I was a kid and these apologetics really test my nerves. Do sharks single us out and target us like their main prey? Ofc not. It has also been proven that fish blood attracts them more than human blood. However: The data is also clear that Great whites and Tigers fully devour humans on a regular base and we know fully well that sharks in the open water are extremely dangerous bc they live in an environment where food is scarce. It doesnt help anyone if one tells lies. I get it that they want to counter the jaws movies. But it has gone out of hand. Their over apologetic nonsense is as fictional as Jaws - maybe even more since every once in a while rogue sharks seem to occur.
