“ A surfer was in a critical condition in hospital overnight after a third shark attack at a Sydney beach in just over 24 hours.“

Don’t let your children in the ocean!!

Stay calm and stay away from the rogue shark that has the taste and understanding to EAT YOU and your children 👧

It WILL KILL AGAIN!!!!

Labor and greens together here have protected the apex predators and now they have grown up and here to have a bite!

That environmental wave pool disaster ( for every dollar you spend a baby dolphin dies so you can surf a wave) is looking better already!

Responsible parents are already considering selling from the north shore and moving to the blue mountains so they’re children can learn how to motor cross.

Goodbye surfing in Sydney.

Goodb….chomped!

ideal conditions for bull sharks?

After rains, the water becomes murkier and not clear to see what’s there.
Bull sharks like lurking in warm summer murky waters ….can surprise their prey as they are unseen.

I surmised, them sharks are starving. Humans have fished the oceans so much, that the food chain must be minimal for hungry sharks.

Fishermen tend to start at the top of the food chain and work down. They take out the shark's competitors, then the sharks, then work down.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Indeed.

It's a problem we've caused.

The best way to avoid shark attacks is to stay out of their home.

Quote:

Sharks were a major hazard at notorious Devil's Island penal colony, guarding it from escape alongside strong currents, treacherous rocks, and wildlife, with bodies of deceased prisoners often fed to them, attracting large numbers of sharks to the surrounding waters. The shark-infested waters contributed to the near impossibility of escaping the island, making them a formidable natural barrier for prisoners.

In these cases, Sharks biting humans for lack of food is totally wrong. There's an abundance of their natural prey in both the harbor and beaches.

1: It's peak shark season with warm water and bait balls everywhere
2: The water is murky after days of torrential rain so the sharks that are all reved up bite anything that gets in their way.

Here's one of my SUPs from mid last week, there were fish everywhere.

Another NSW attack.

Point Plomer this time.

A man has been rushed to hospital after being mauled by a shark at Point Plomer on the NSW Mid North Coast, marking the fourth attack in less than 48 hours.

Surfers camping at the popular break reportedly saw a group of four bull sharks in the water before the man was attacked near Crescent Head on Tuesday morning.

It's understood the shark bit through the man's wetsuit and took a chunk out of his board. He was rushed to Kempsey Hospital by a witness.

Yes - why are the sharks starving?

I saw many sharks when I used to go snorkeling as a teenager
and I found they were very shy -
they never attacked me. Undecided

Fish running can draw them. As they said - murky water from rains... bloke up here coupla years back now got bit when surfing during the mullet run.
