Last year, Australia was praised all over the world for creating the biggest marine reserves. This year, the world is looking at Australia - and particularly Western Australia when a controversial shark culling policy designed to prevent attack. Any shark longer than three metres (10 feet) snagged by the lines and deemed to be a threat - including great white, bull and tiger sharks - will be destroyed. Even great scientists in Australia agree, may be with a complete survey and fully understand their ecology and biology of shark in their coastal waters/

Great whites are protected under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, but federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt granted an exception on public safety and economic grounds.
