As they do in Australia every year, the first shark has officially been killing. This "culling" otherwise known as selective gathering brings a lot of controversy with it. The conservationists in the area are not thrilled about what is going on, because it not only is leading in deaths but is also being blamed for the many fatal shark attacks along the coast. These hooked lines attached to these floating drums is aimed at catching great white sharks, the most dangerous predators in the water today. Because conservationists are having such a problem with this occurrence, baited drums are being taken out of the waters and tracking monitors are being used instead. This way nothing gets hurt, but information is still being retrieved.
