Shark attacks spark calls for expanded drone surveillance

Australia has experienced an unprecedented number of shark attacks this year, prompting authorities to lift the drone surveillance ban at Coogee Beach following a weekend incident that left a 35-year-old woman in critical condition. The attack occurred at 11am in clear, calm conditions between the flags, challenging conventional understanding of when and where shark attacks occur. The New South Wales shark management programme costs $86 million over four years, with calls growing for expanded drone surveillance and detection technology at all coastal beaches.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
