My heart goes out to the family and friends of the individual involved in the shark accident today at Byron Bay. At this time, it is important to be mindful of the time it takes for those affected to heal from such a tragic loss. It is also of great importance that we keep perspective, and let what happened today motivate us forward to implementing effective, non-lethal programs which actively work to keep both marine life and beach goers safe. For Mr de Gelder (a shark accident survivor), today’s tragic events are another sign the government needs to take action. “It really is time for the people running this country to start doing something. Not just to protect their tourism dollars.” “They need to protect the sharks and the ocean going public.” - mobile.news.au/national/nsw-act/byron-bay-shark-attack-local-tells-of-horror-experience/story-fnj3rq0y-1227052835499 This TED talk by Chris Neff helps to give us an insight into this topic, and adds some history as to where the label shark attack came from, which has been the verb of choice today by most media outlets: https://youtube/watch?v=Vcmy2Bd23wE
