University of Sydney shark policy expert, Dr Christopher Neff, said classifying a shark as an imminent threat on the basis of scientific tagging data went against the purpose of tagging, which was to study their movements as an indication of what the wider, untagged shark population might be doing. He said using that data to track and kill a white shark was unheard of and had angered scientists. “Tagging provides an early warning system, and by killing that shark you are killing the early warning system,” he said. “It’s a step backwards for science and for beach safety.” theguardian/environment/2014/dec/22/wa-shark-cull-killing-tagged-great-white-risks-safety-of-beachgoers-expert-says
