Stoney silence

[InTheDrink]

Removing post as checking shark attack file shows some of the incidents I couldn't find elsewhere.

I'm not in any way concerned about diving with these sharks and will go back next year. I'm more curious as to whether there is a deliberate policy of silence so as to prevent damage to the tourist eco-system? Or is it simply that the attacks were not fatal and as such not news-worthy?
Thanks,

I cannot speak to your location, but when my nephew was bitten by a Tiger shark in the churning waters of South Padre Island, Texas, the Emergency Room tech told us there were several such attacks lately. The conditions were great for surf fishing; ergo, great for Tiger sharks in the surf. However, none of it was in the news.

I suspect that yes, non-fatalities are not reported as to prevent damage to the tourist eco-system.

Just look at the damage the 'border violence news' had done to the Sonora, Mexico, dive areas.
