Australia is experiencing an unprecedented surge in shark attacks, with fatal incidents increasing more than threefold in the last five years. A Sydney woman is fighting for life after being mauled by a great white shark just 30 metres from shore at Coogee Beach, prompting questions about the effectiveness of New South Wales' $30 million annual shark management program.
