In a reaction to high-profile shark mishaps, targeted culling programs in the 1970\u2019s were intended to reduce the numbers of large sharks in an area.\u00a0 While culling is still discussed today following shark incidents, it was shown to be largely ineffective and is rarely practiced. If the culling movement is barbaric by today\u2019s standards,<strong> finning is outright genocide<\/strong>.\u00a0 Some species have seen declines of more than 95%.\u00a0 Pelagic sharks suffer the worst, as they have no marine protected areas in which to hide.\u00a0 Oceanic whitetips, which only 60 years ago were thought to be the most abundant large animals on earth, were placed under the protective care of CITES this year, largely due to the market for their fins.\u00a0 So sharks are in trouble and need help, fast.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1912\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1912\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Galeocerda-cuvier-small-watermarked.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5AfgVEqD\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1912\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Galeocerda-cuvier-small-watermarked-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Galeocerda cuvier - Tiger sharks are both incredibly majestic and characteristically shy.

Chance shark encounters sans the chum are possible with some species, but are rare and unreliable.\u00a0 The best way to get top quality sharky media is with bait.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Live sharks are valuable, and responsible exploitation of that resource means shark diving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Finally, shark dives give live animals an economic value<\/strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">.\u00a0 Politicians and businessmen speak in dollars.\u00a0 Shark ecotourism is currently a growing $314 million per year industry.

However, the three main arguments against the operations are based largely on <strong>misconceptions and assumption:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharks associate people with food &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0There is no evidence to support an association of people with food and based purely on speculation.\u00a0 <strong>Sharks associate food with food.<\/strong>\u00a0 Personal experience has shown that humans can still enter the water safely at the Oahu shark dive sites without a cage.\u00a0 Not only do the sharks mostly ignore free-swimmers without bait, they are scared away by the strange creatures.\u00a0 Other shark dives in Fiji, Moorea, South Africa and the Bahamas have solid safety records with one fatal bite out of many thousands of shark diving participants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharks follow the boats back to shore &#8211;<\/strong> The idea that hungry sharks associating boat noises with food follow the boats back to shallower water was the most often cited complaint of the companies on Oahu and again was based only on speculation.\u00a0 A study was performed by the University of Hawaii to study this very question.\u00a0 Tags were implanted on the animals at the dive site.\u00a0 Receivers were strategically placed in the transit back to harbor that would detect every time a tagged animal swam by.\u00a0 Their data found no evidence suggesting that the sharks followed the boats back.\u00a0 Instead, the animals stayed at the buoy sites even when the boats weren\u2019t there.\u00a0 Furthermore, the researchers found that the shark species assemblage was seasonal.\u00a0 This suggests that the sharks\u2019 behavior is not altered so heavily that they fail to maintain normal migration activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The operations disrespect sharks &#8211;<\/strong> Deeply seated in Hawaiian culture is the idea of a spirit guardian or aumakua taking the form of an animal.\u00a0 Sharks are a commonly cited aumakua, so they are highly respected.\u00a0 Many believe that the act of feeding or taking tourists to see them is a show of disrespect.\u00a0 While the animals are on display, the visitors are given lengthy lessons in local culture and shark conservation.\u00a0 At one time the animals were rewarded with small amounts of food for their participation.\u00a0 Certainly the sharks didn\u2019t feel disrespected.<\/p>\n<p>Even still, hot debates rage on.\u00a0 A few years ago an operator was politically chased out of Hawaii Kai Harbor for trying to start a similar operation.\u00a0 Every time a swimmer is bitten on the north shore of Oahu, the incident is falsely traced back to the operations 3 miles offshore.\u00a0 Accusers fail to recognize that shark attacks on Oahu are exceedingly rare in spite of the gargantuan population of human ocean users.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1911\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Carcharhinus-longimanus-8.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5AfgVEqD\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1911\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Carcharhinus-longimanus-8-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Carcharhinus longimanus - A select few sharks are photogenic without some kind of attractant.
