Australia's Shark Attack Debate: Data Challenges Culling Calls
Two fatal shark attacks in Australia have sparked renewed calls for culling, but experts emphasize that the recent increase in incidents is linked to greater human presence in shark habitats, not rising shark populations; they advocate for data-driven solutions and coexistence.
