[77] Following the abandonment of seasonal drum line deployment plans in September 2014, drum lines were deployed to kill sharks in Western Australia on at least three occasions. [75], In September 2014, the Western Australian Environment Protection Authority recommended against the setting of drum lines in the summers on 2014–2015 and 2015–16. [82] Public pressure mounted on the Western Australian State Government to adopt the same non-lethal strategy and utilise SMART drumlines. According to the State Government's SharkSmart website, tiger sharks "may only have been responsible for one shark bite in WA since 1980". Sharks larger than 3 m (9 ft 10 in) found in these areas are to be hunted and killed by professional fishermen. [101] At Réunion Island, drum lines are used in conjunction with long lines. [63], In December 2013, more than 100 professionals who work with sharks signed an open letter to the WA Government calling for non-lethal measures to be used to protect beach-goers, accompanied by increased investment in shark research and monitoring. Environmental concerns include the bycatch of other marine species, drowning of undersize sharks caught on the hooks and the impact on globally declining shark populations, particularly the great white shark, which is listed on the IUCN Red List as "vulnerable". The IUCN lists global threats to great white sharks to include targeted commercial and sports fisheries, protective beach meshing, and "media-fanned campaigns to kill Great White Sharks after a biting incident occurs". 312 of these were killed in nets in New South Wales, while 598 were killed in nets or … That's because it's the first shark to be killed under Western Australia's new culling program. The WA EPA chairman Paul Vogel said there was too much uncertainty about how the policy, which involved killing sharks longer than 3 metres (9.8 ft), would affect the great white shark population. Protests were also held in New Zealand and South Africa. The letter included the statement: "we do not support the proposed use of lethal shark population control measures such as drum lines or targeted fishing of sharks."[64]. [17][18], Long term shark control programs using shark nets and/or drumlines have been very successful in reducing the incidence of shark attacks at the protected beaches. [34][35], The Australian Labor Party expressed opposition to the cull,[36][37][38] and the Australian Greens political party also condemned the policy. [25] In April 2014, the Authority announced that it had set a Public Environmental Review level of assessment on shark policy, with a four-week public submission period.
