Bondi Beach closed as shark sightings increase

Bondi Beach has been closed for three consecutive days following shark sightings, occurring less than two weeks after Leah Stewart was critically injured in a shark attack at nearby Coogee Beach. The New South Wales Government has announced additional funding for shark surveillance and protection measures. Great white shark populations have increased since receiving protection in 1999, with 26 years of reproduction leading to more frequent sightings, particularly during autumn and winter when sharks follow migratory prey patterns in 18-20 degree waters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
