Shark nets have been removed from New South Wales beaches one month earlier than usual, just before the Easter long weekend. The decision follows a summer that recorded the highest number of shark attacks in January for the past decade. Alternative mitigation strategies include acoustic receivers that track bull sharks through buoys at beaches like Vaucluse and Balmoral, providing data on shark seasonality and activity patterns, particularly during weather events and murky water conditions.
