<p>Shark experts investigating a series of attacks on swimmers in Egypt have recommended a ban on feeding fish and dumping carcasses in the water.</p>
<p>They also suggested building observation towers on the beach at Sharm el-Sheikh and running naval patrols to alert tourists against attacks.</p>
<p>Last week a shark killed a 70-year-old German while she was snorkelling in the Red Sea, just a few days after sharks mauled three Russians and a Ukrainian, sparking a closure of the beaches at the international holiday destination.</p>
<p>The experts said the tourists feeding the fish and some meat traders tossing carcasses into the coastal waters was behind the sharks&#8217; sudden interest in human flesh.</p>
<p>A decline in the numbers of fish the sharks are accustomed to eating due to warming waters and overfishing were also cited as possible factors.</p>
<p>South Sinai Governor Mohammed Shousha admitted that the rush to reopen the beaches after a couple sharks were caught last week was a mistake. It was after swimmers returned to the waters that the German women was killed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I must say we were wrong at the beginning,&#8221; he said, acknowledging that the two sharks caught were probably not involved in the attack. Beaches were immediately reclosed after the fatality.</p>
<p>Beaches should only be reopened once a system of patrols and observation towers was in place, said the experts.</p>
<p>They also recommended imposing strict fines on boat owners and tourists dumping bait into the water to attract fish for divers, relying on hotels and dive centres to educate visitors.</p>
<p>The governor added that past shark incidents can also be tied to the dumping of animal carcasses into the coastal waters.</p>
