Shark Encounters Surge in Australia | Miami News

A surfer in his fifties survived a shark attack at Glenfield Beach in Western Australia, now recovering in stable condition as scientists analyze his damaged board to identify the predator. Authorities are urging extreme caution near the area amid a worrying surge in shark encounters — fueled by warming waters and rising human activity. Recent tragedies include a fatal Sydney Harbour attack on a 12-year-old, three diver deaths across WA and QLD, a teacher’s life-saving struggle after losing part of her arm, and another deadly beach assault. Since 1971, over 1,280 shark incidents — including more than 250 fatalities — have been recorded in Australia, with encounters growing as more people hit the water for recreation.
