Completely unacceptable. @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social government KNOWS it's whale migration season & still allows/insists on #sharknets! The poor mother whale who carried this baby for 12 months—and the poor baby—an agonising and totally avoidable death. #humpbackwhales #nswpol #ecocide

Shark nets do protect human life In the well orchestrated war against shark nets in NSW, truth has long been the first casualty. The fatal shark attack on a 57-year-old man at Dee Why Beach in Sydney on 6 September is arguably the second.

For many, interference with the shark protection program would increase anxiety and reduce the pleasure of a joyful activity that contributes enormously to both physical and mental health. #auspol #nswpol #sharknets

@davidho.bsky.social Thanks (I think) for reminder - entanglement ghastly enough but jeez. Hardly matters whether these #sharknets protect humans' leisure beaches or catch meat and manliness foodstuffs or...

How do shark nets work? After a deadly attack in Sydney, their effectiveness is being questioned Trials to remove shark nets from some NSW beaches have been suspended after the death of a surfer. But what impact do they actually have on shark attacks in the first place?

Incredibly important for people to understand how inefficient 1920s "shark nets" are, and especially that they do not cover surface to seabed. The brilliant contrasting statistics on modern options are in here 👇 #Sharks #SharkNets #Oceans #Australia #Summer #SYD

Not to mention all the cruel and illegal shark finning and other poaching activities driven by the commercial fishing industry.

Shark "control" also kills more endangered sea life than there are people protected by it.

Is it safe to swim in La Réunion lagoons?
Yes. But ONLY in protected areas. Shark nets exist for a reason. Swim like the locals do. Don’t assume.

"... the continued poor outcomes of the annual #shark meshing program reflect a wider state government failing for biodiversity conservation in NSW"
