In fact, the killing of sharks has likely made the situation at Reunion Island what it is.
Researchers along the South African coast have been concerned about dramatic changes they've seen in shark populations over the last 10 years and what these changes could mean for the local habitats. Much of these changes are due to overfishing and culling. Is it possible that this has contributed to the rate of shark bite incidents at Reunion Island? Kelly Slater referenced an imbalance, but what he didn't mention is that we likely caused the imbalance and that pursuing killing as a solution to this imbalance could make the issue even worse. Killing isn't the answer. Nature needs time to heal, but will we let it? I think we already know the answer to that.
