## Resource

A woman in her thirties suffered serious shark bites at Coogee Beach while swimming safely between the flags—now in critical but stable condition. In response, drones are being approved to patrol Sydney beaches, including the airport-proximate Coogee, marking a major shift after over 100,000 drone flights already tracked sharks across NSW. The attack reignited debates over shark culling, with former PM Tony Abbott calling for human safety above all—but experts warn culling lacks proven effectiveness, urging instead smarter surveillance. The NSW government is weighing options, including controversial shark nets, amid the painful balancing act between public safety and ocean conservation.
