Ok, so where are we at with the crocoshark?

Agreed there is a lot of hysteria around on this subject. I mean, how many references have been made on this site in the last three days to the movie "Jaws"? And that big "hit" was produced, what, nearly 50 years ago?

That said, this state of Guerrero has hosted more unprovoked shark attacks than any other Mexican state in the last several decades, according to International Shark Attack File, out of Florida. There have been two shark attacks of Mexico´s Pacific Coast in the last 12 days (ref. Melaque). Both have been fatal. According to ISAF, only Egypt and South Africa experienced those figures, and that was in the entire year 2022.

So, something is going on here, and as I suggested in an earlier post, it has everything to do with climate change. And as long as climate change and its effects on ocean life are with us, so too will be this current dust-up surrounding sharks.

It may be hysteria, but it should also be considered a public safety issue.
