The Advertiser
of 7th August 2017 reported that strict new limits on the amount of
berley that shark cage diving operators at Port Lincoln, South Australia can use to attract
sharks have been reduced. The two operators using berley are now restricted to
120kg of berley and teaser baits per trip. The amount of berley that they can
use will be further reduced next year, when they can only use 100kg per day (or
trip?). A further restriction placed on the operators concerns when a shark either
grabs a teaser bait or crashes into the cage while trying to eat the bait, all
berleying activity must cease for 15 minutes. These new restrictions aim to
reduce the amount of berley being used and to stop sharks being fed during such
activity.
