They argue a cull would require removing every white shark in the ocean — impossible and ineffective — while pointing to drones and smarter tech as real solutions. NSW’s premier has already ruled out culling, citing shark protection laws and lack of evidence, and now supports tech-driven monitoring. Experts say rising shark incidents stem from more swimmers and whale populations, not a need to kill sharks — urging coexistence over annihilation.
