Feeding Sharks by Tourists Linked to Fatal Attack
Originally Published 4 months ago — by Explorersweb »
A fatal shark attack off Hadera Beach, Israel, was likely caused by tourists feeding sharks and the presence of a GoPro, which may have attracted the sharks' attention. Researchers suggest that human interaction and feeding behaviors have altered shark behavior, increasing the risk of attacks, and recommend banning artificial feeding and spearfishing to improve safety.
