The world is watching you in this challenging situation. While we understand that action must be taken regarding the oceanic white tip shark's attack on tourists in Nama Bay, Sharm el Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt but we ask you to heed the words of experts. Rathering than randomly killing sharks use the photographic evidence available to target the specific shark responsible for the attacks. There are many groups and individuals willing to help and advise the government during this time. The Red Sea's shark population is one of the main attractions for divers all over the world. Don't deplete the few sharks you have left!

The situation in Sharm el Sheikh remains tense and the silence from officials is heavy. I am exhausted by the ongoing focus on mass culling, but we are continuing to push for the use of photographic evidence to identify the individual shark responsible. Please stay with me because your attention remains our only leverage.

The ocean is their home not ours. Killing random sharks is not going to solve anything and it just ruins the ecosystem. Shameful.

Ridiculous to blame the whole species for one incident. Leave the sharks alone and hire people who actually know how to track them.

Need to be smarter about this. They are just animals acting on instinct. Stop the slaughter now.

Keep the sharks safe. Tourism is going to tank if you kill all the wildlife.

Stop killing everything in sight just because you are scared. Use science and find the actual shark that did this. So sad to see this happening.

Total incompetence by the local authorities. There is photographic evidence available so use it instead of just destroying nature!
