Great white shark sightings have increased to such a number that local authorities are willing to lose any remaining tourist money, over the risk of an attack.
Researchers say the sharks are becoming more visible as the local seal population has continued to grow.
The population has greatly increased as they are protected by law.
Seals have actually become a nuisance to fishermen, as they are not even allowed to chase them away from their catches.
As the seals are a favorite meal of sharks, and sharks can easily confuse a human for a seal, people are being warned to stay more than three hundred feet from seals, no matter the location.
