Great Whites Hassled by Pleasure/Tour Boats
- "Over the past few years our firm ... has strongly advocated self-regulated eco-tourism centering on protected great white sharks at the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. We thought at the time that only local shark boat operators would know best how to interact with this protected species on a seasonal basis. We sadly report to you today that this sensitive population of great whites is now under siege by multiple pleasure boats and eco-tour operators during the months of September to November." - quote from Patric Douglas, see http://www.faultline.org/news/2003/04/sharks.html
