## Resource

A tragic shark attack off Albany, Western Australia, claimed the life of 35-year-old spearfisherman Daniel Turpin, sparking grief across a tight-knit community where nearly everyone knows the family. This marks the third fatal shark incident in Australia in just one month, raising urgent safety concerns for water users. While some push for shark culling, experts and diving advocates urge better education, risk awareness, and stricter codes of conduct instead. Shark researchers propose SMART drum lines as a humane, tech-driven solution, and the WA government plans meetings with spearfishers to find balanced, sustainable safety measures.
