Forster looks clear and swansea and Forster fad
Seals could also possibly be clear

Three shark attacks in Sydney in the last 48 hours, and another at Point Plummer today.

Do not swim in floodwater — it’s that simple.

Sharks 🦈 have moved out of the rivers and are currently feeding inshore along beaches and around headlands.

Please wait until the water clears.

We don’t need a shark cull — we need awareness and an understanding of shark behaviour.
Sharks are not killers and do not actively hunt humans. In these recent incidents, sharks are feeding in dirty water, and swimmers or surfers are entering that environment. We can’t blame the shark for making a mistake — it’s unfortunate, but totally preventable.

As spearfishers and freedivers, we rarely experience aggressive shark behaviour. Clearer water, eye contact, and understanding body language make a huge difference. On the rare occasions a shark does become assertive, we calmly redirect it, prod it away with a speargun, or gently push it off if needed — maintaining space, not harming the animal.

Spend enough time in the water and you learn to read shark energy, movement, and intent. Sharks are very predictable once you understand these cues.

Stay informed. Stay safe. Respect the ocean.
