✍️ Australia is trying to protect beachgoers from shark attacks using various methods, including shark nets, but critics argue they are ineffective and harm other marine life.
👉 Shark nets have been used in NSW since 1937 👉 The nets are not very effective and give the illusion of safety 👉 40% of sharks caught in the nets are found on the beach side trying to get out 👉 Almost 90% of animals caught in NSW's nets are not target species 👉 Drones, apps, and bite-resistant wetsuits are being explored as alternative methods 👉 The state of NSW is considering scaling back its use of shark nets
