Shark attack on dolphin closes Sydney’s northern beaches
Hundreds of swimmers have been cleared from the water after a bottlenose dolphin was fatally wounded by a shark near Manly on Sydney’s northern beaches.
A Surf Life Saving NSW spokeswoman said the beaches – which were packed with swimmers for the Manly Surf Open – would remain closed until Sunday as “the assessment’s been made there are too many sharks in the area”. “The deceased dolphin has since been transported to the Australian Wildlife Registry based at Taronga Wildlife Hospital to undergo a necropsy [animal autopsy],” the spokeswoman said.
