A
young man has just lost his life in Saint-André in a new accident.

We
would like to give to the family and friends of this young man our
utmost sincere condolences.

We
urge the “users of the ocean” to respect the bans on
swimming and surfing in the areas deemed dangerous and to the Prefect
who was so quick to spend millions on irresponsible fishing to
enforce his own orders.

This
accident comes in full consultation on fishing in the Marine Reserve.

Remember
that there is no Marine Reserve in Saint-André, but it only takes a
few hours for a shark to move from the West Coast to the East Coast
as the CHARC program has demonstrated.

A
bait belt was installed in front of the west coast and this bait belt
extended to Sainte-Marie. Reunion sharks, which are quietly around
the island, have been set on Réunion.

The
observations of off-season sharks have never been more numerous than
since the senseless baiting of the shark cap experiment has been
extended. Today there is a new fatal accident.

We
will react further in another release.

A
bait belt was installed in front of the west coast and this bait belt
was extended to Sainte-Marie. In this way, the Reunion has been fixed
as a passing point for sharks that are quietly circling around the
island.

The
observations of off-season sharks have never been more numerous than
since this senseless baiting experiment for sharks off the headland
which had been extended.

Today
there has been a new fatality.

We
will be reacting further in another release.
