Chris - you and several posters have ignored the achievement and fixated on the consequences that were unintended.
perhaps penny and other might elaborate on their protocol for shark encounters during their swim... perhaps the person-in-charge should have called the swim...
you don't have to be happy with her achievement. you don't have to be happy with the consequences.
Todd - you do realize making the harvest of hammers. bulls and tigers illegal doesn't mean they won't continue to be incidental catch in other fisheries? and by the way, each of these species is permissable catch in Federal waters... as are oceanic whitetips.
I am confused by what some posters might consider reasonable... if a white shark made an appearance at the 800-swimmer alcatraz sharkfest should it be every swimmer for themselves... after all you don't have to outswim the shark just your fellow swimmer.
what would have been reasonable for penny's swim? does she need both your permission and endorsement prior to her next swim?
