Similar to scientists in the United States working for NOAA, government scientists in South Africa seem to prioritize defending the fishing industry rather than protecting animals. As iconic species disappear, once again scientists are called upon to get the public to look any direction other than at the undeniable damage of the fishing industry. In this case they have the perfect distraction, a media feast of orca vs. great white. So this time we blame nature.
Who were the scientists in South Africa who were called upon to be the minister of the environment's "expert panel"? We will get to that, but you'll see familiar names of those who are always willing to sell out the animals for their own opportunities. I'm still pondering the information provided in these presentations, but the sample size used to draw conclusions seems extremely small and in other cases I can't see where the data is to back up claims being made.

This interview with Chris Fallows absolutely destroys South Africa's government scientists.
