Sharks in the Red Sea
In 2010, the Egyptian government closed the touristic hotspot Sharm el-Sheikh and banned swimming at that place as a result of some dangerous shark attacks; one of these attacks was fatal. Since December in 2010, scientists have been investigating these attacks. They managed to identify some potential reasons,but could not recognize their validity, like excess fishing which pushes large sharks to approach the coast to hunt, touristic boats’ operators who drop baits in order to photo sharks, and some reports involve throwing animal corpses from some passing-by ships.Furthermore, the geography of some parts of the Red Sea enables large sharks to wander by the coast sometimes. This is due to the Sea narrowness, deep water, and sharp slope. These three factors altogether constitute a suitable place for large sharks to wander in hundred meters of deep water and reach some hundred meters of swimming zones .
