64-year-old British tourist shark attack near shore in Tobago; THA criticized for hasty response.

The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) has faced criticism for its hasty response to a shark attack on a 64-year-old British tourist, which occurred 30 feet from the shore. The public's exaggerated fear of shark attacks, influenced by the 1975 movie Jaws, may have contributed to the THA's reaction. The incident has raised concerns about a more rational and accurate understanding of shark dangers.
