Shark feeding frenzy in shallow water..... !!!!

Lincoln and Marcus Jones (www.lincolnsislands.com) offer a great one-day Bahama's adventure. They take up to ten people on their center console sport fishing boat from their base on Green Turtle Island (an out island of Great Abaco in the Bahamas). After a couple of hours of reef fishing and lobster diving they take you to a magical deserted beach and cook a wonderful oceanside seafood lunch from your catch-Including fresh potato chips and tropical rum punch. Then it is time to feed the sharks!!!

On an island just north of Green Turtle island in the Abacos.

Feeding wild animals is not abusive. People have fed wild animals including birds, chipmunks, dogs etc for thousands of years. It however may or may not be a good thing to do. In this case it was being done on a remote beach. I recorded and posted it because I thought some people might find it amazing that sharks wim in such shallow water. Very few people realize that sharks frequently come close to shore but are not seen because the water is not clear.

Doesn't this encourage sharks to come up to the beach in search of food? I wouldn't want to swim anywhere near there.

@gloomyoutlook

Regular feedings encourage sharks to hang around for food just like bears looking for food in a dump. In this case the location is very remote so it probably doesn't affect swimmers much. Also the water is very clear so you can see them and stay out of their way. One thing the video does is make people aware that fairly big sharks can be in shallow water (less than a foot deep).

When the water is cloudy we have no idea how many sharks swim by undetected.

Manjack Cay...my favorite place in the Bahamas..can't wait to go back. swimming with those sharks at the island in the video last year was the best

this is why sharks eat people. Stop teasing them!

What stupid people, regardless of if it's fake or not, by feeding wild animals like this, makes them become more bold. Think about seagulls or geese, when you feed them, they can become relentless and bold. They also then soon come to associate the fact people going into the water as a signal of "free feeding time". This is terrible.

These sharks are tiny and harmless, those bigass stingrays pose a bigger threat to people than the sharks, small sharks like this always lurk around beaches and it's not because people feed them it's because the water is more oxygenated and there is more fish/marine life to feed on in general.

Total CGI. Well done on the CHI, but you're not fooling me. I know a fake when I see it.
