Port St. John’s Christmas Day Shark Attack

Reports of a fatal shark attack in Port St. John’s have reached the Zag desk. If these are true, this attack will take the death toll up to seven in seven years. The report suggests that a Male swimmer at Port St Johns’ notoriously sharky Second Beach was taken by a shark on Christmas Day. The St Francis Chronicle spoke with John Costello, Station commander of the NSRI, who claimed that lifesavers tried to clear the water after a shark fin was seen close to hundreds of swimmers at Second Beach, but the lifeguards were reportedly unable to get everyone out of the water in time and a male swimmer was taken. Volunteers for the Port St Johns Sea Rescue were called to the scene following the incident to search for the missing man, but as of yet no body has been recovered. We’ll try to get updates on the incident when and if they come.

    The sacrificing of chickens and whatever else in the river and sea must be stopped immediatly and then closely monitored and policed ( in the same way 4×4 bakkies are policed).  The Bull sharks have become used to easy meals and will now grab anything that comes into the water. Also it will take a long time for the sharks to stop this kind of feeding habit! Shark nets might be an immediate answer, however they may severely affect the Eco-system.
