Off the coast of Western Australia, a 35-year-old spearfisherman has become the third person killed by a shark within a single month — a clustering of deaths rare enough to transform isolated tragedy into something that demands a reckoning. The sea has always carried risk for those who enter it, but when loss arrives in sequence, human beings search the pattern for meaning, cause, and remedy. Authorities now face the difficult task of distinguishing between a statistical coincidence and a genuine shift in the relationship between these waters and the people who depend on them.
