A dolphin that died off Bondi Beach has become an unintended victim of this season’s shark net program.
A dolphin that died off Bondi Beach has become an unintended victim of this season’s shark net program just days before government contractors remove the mesh for winter.
Shark nets are installed across 51 beaches between Newcastle and Wollongong each year between September and the end of April. The shark nets are 150 metres long and six metres high, and are usually set in 10–12 metres of water within 500 metres of the beach. They’re intended as a deterrent rather than a total barrier between swimmers and sharks.
