## Resource

A tragic shark attack off Far North Queensland claimed the life of 39-year-old spearfisherman Michael Jensz, sending shockwaves through the local community. Spearfished from a boat near Kennedy Shoal, Jensz was pulled back to safety by companions but died before reaching shore. Authorities are investigating the shark species involved, while locals grapple with rising shark encounters—some blaming increased shark numbers, others pointing to more humans in the water. Marine biologists caution that shark populations are globally declining due to overfishing and climate change, and that culling won’t solve the problem. Experts explain that sharks are drawn to spearfishing activity, mistaking speared fish for prey, highlighting the need for respect and understanding in our shared ocean environment.
