Queensland anglers are petitioning the state government to ease restrictions on bull shark fishing, and even consider culls, citing a perceived increase in shark numbers. The petition reflects growing concerns among fishermen and those who use Queensland waterways. Anglers argue current fishing limits are insufficient to manage the rising bull shark population. They express fears for personal safety and the impact on recreational fishing. The Queensland government has not yet responded to the petition. This issue highlights the ongoing tension between conservation efforts and the safety concerns of waterway users. Increased shark sightings have fueled the debate, prompting calls for more proactive management strategies.
