Affordable Sharks

Just came back from my short trip to Hepburn Springs after spending 3 days 2 nights there. Lovely small town. Yuen Li wanted to go back there again @.@~~

Anyway, been catching up on the news and saw this nice article:
THE number of man-eating sharks in Australian waters is growing, according to experts, who blame the surging numbers on a ban on killing the predators.

Marine biologist Adam Smith said initial research and accounts from fishermen and divers pointed to a rise in the number of sharks in Australian waters."Nobody is fishing for the great white, it has no human predators and commercial fisherman are telling us they're seeing an increase in numbers," he said. Mr Peake also warned that increasing contact between great whites and humans could occur as many of the shark's traditional food sources, including salmon species, are more aggressively fished. More
Wow~ Will the Aust Govt relax their laws on those predators? If so, we could see a price drop in Shark's Fin soup! My favourite soup of all time! It has been to expensive to drink for me, only able to drink it during special occasions.

Let's wait and see for the good news!
