Mimicking sea birds? How does eating chips attract sharks?

. You should respond to the Sunday mail letters page with that!
We have a sh!tl@ad of 'experts' around us. One report on marine sanctuaries was compiled by a guy that spent less than 10 hours under water. It over ruled generations of local knowledge of professional and amatuer fisherman, divers, indigenous locals, and common sense. Unfortunately political deals, and hunger for publicity and grants, drives outcomes of these reports to tick the boxes. I think every time these guys comment, there should be a disclosure about their employment, grants and political persuasions. You can draw conclusions out of anything; and when you quote percentages, it suddenly sounds scientific. Considering the amount of kiters that have been attacked by tiger sharks, (hovering around 0%) he's going to have hard time proving the point. I would say back to him Assoc professors are more likely to suffer sexual disfunction and depression, than kiters getting attacked by tiger sharks. And I agree the modern press prints so much alarmist out of context crap, that it's not worth reading or responding.
