For Mike Psillakis, whose twin brother died in a white shark attack last year, the tragedy underscores a urgent need for action. He’s turned to Reunion Island’s success story: after 30 attacks and 11 deaths between 2011 and 2019, they slashed incidents to zero by catching and euthanizing adult bull and tiger sharks — a bold move that ignored population data and focused on human lives saved. While Australia’s Premier rejects killing white sharks, he’s eyeing bull sharks — a stark contrast to Reunion’s lethal strategy. Though Australia and Reunion share tech, their approaches diverge sharply. Scientists remain divided: some see lethal drumlines as effective, others doubt it — and point to drones and non-lethal tools as promising alternatives.
