Australian authorities plan to hunt and kill large white sharks that pose a threat to swimmers along the west coast of Australia, overlooking the Indian Ocean as part of a new plan to protect beachgoers after five deadly attacks over the past year.
The great white sharks protected species in Australian waters since more than ten years, but a wave of attacks on Western Australian shores in recent government paid for allow preventive fishing.
Colin Barnett said the chief minister of state of Western Australia, told reporters "we will always the life and safety of beachgoers by sharks."
"This is despite everything just fish. Let's put things in perspective."
Barnett said his recorded 12 deaths only because of the shark in the past hundred years, but five of those deaths occurred over the past year alone.
The plan allows for the authorities hunt and kill sharks if found in the proximity of beachgoers, and in the former was not allowed to hunt sharks only if there is an attack on the person already.
The government also will buy more water skis for use in rescue services and will increase spending on helicopters patrolling the beaches.
And live in Australian waters more than 100 species of sharks, but mostly peaceful. The white sharks and tiger sharks and bull shark dangerous although they tend to live in the water away from the beaches frequented by vacationers.
The white sharks prefer cold and temperate waters in South Australia while the tiger and bull sharks are more common in tropical waters in the north.
The French authorities allowed last month to execute about 20 sharks off the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean after a series of attacks in an important spot for windsurfing.
