Surf aerialists hang heads in shame after kite surfer shatters world record for highest jump

This article by an unnamed author explores dolphins as a potential solution to Australia's increasing Great White shark attacks following the species' protection in the 1990s.

The piece documents the rising number of fatal shark attacks since Great Whites gained protected status, listing dozens of victims who have died since protection laws were implemented. The author argues that traditional shark attack prevention measures like culls, nets, drones, and tagging systems have proven ineffective or politically unpalatable.

• Dolphin behavior demonstrates natural shark deterrence capabilities, with pods actively confronting and intimidating Great White sharks
• Protection of Great White sharks since 1996-1999 has coincided with increased fatal attacks on surfers and swimmers
• Current prevention methods including drones, tagging, and magnetic deterrents are criticized as inadequate solutions
• Training dolphins for beach patrol could offer an alternative approach to shark attack prevention
