Summary

After a shark attack at Coogee Beach, NSW officials are exploring safety measures — but not culling great whites. Instead, they’re eyeing bull sharks in Sydney Harbour, which are unprotected and more locally common. Marine biologists strongly oppose culling, warning it’s ineffective for migratory species and could even attract sharks via bait methods. Experts urge smarter alternatives: drone surveillance, public education, and tackling root causes like climate change, which is altering shark migration. The real goal? Protect both swimmers and sharks without disrupting fragile marine ecosystems. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
