Unprecedented shark attacks spark government response

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Australia is experiencing an unprecedented surge in shark attacks, with fatal incidents increasing more than threefold in the last five years. A Sydney woman is fighting for life after being mauled by a great white shark just 30 metres from shore at Coogee Beach, prompting questions about the effectiveness of New South Wales' $30 million annual shark management program. The state government is expanding drone surveillance and research initiatives, with Minister Tara Moriarty announcing plans to increase drone coverage across beaches and work with CASA to resolve flight restrictions at Coogee Beach near Sydney Airport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
