Tourists and Sharks Clash in Thailand's Maya Bay

Sharks have returned to Maya Bay in Thailand, a popular tourist destination, after a four-year tourism ban and COVID-19 restrictions. Tourists are hesitant to enter the water as sharks swarm around in the shallow waters. The government is keen to recapture the significant income from tourism, but conservationists have pressured for new restrictions, which the government has implemented. Tour boats must dock on the other side of the island from the beach, visitors must walk to the beach, and the number of visitors allowed every hour is capped at 375, and they are allowed to wade only knee-deep into the water.
