There are a much smaller amount of people surfing there than there used to be though. We were still paddling out after the first few attacks without too much concern, it was a sharky place to begin with.
Why don't they do something about it? - There hasn't been an outright agreement on what to do about it. There is a mix of opinions between the locals, and to make it more difficult, there has also been A LOT of outside interference. The locals probably favor a controlled cull of bull sharks to a certain degree, but there is too much disagreement to take a collective action so far.
Thanks for the clear explanation. I predict even more darwin awards in their future. Lets revisit this post next year.
Don't talk about Darwin awards unless you yourself are willing to stay out of the water and never surf again for the rest of your life.
