Second Sydney shark attack in 2 days
A day after a navy clearance diver was injured by a shark, there has been a second attack near Sydney. This time off Bondi beach a 33 year old nearly lost his hand.
NSW Primary Industry Minister, Ian Macdonald, warned people not to swim at dawn or dusk. Meanwhile an aquarist from Sydney aquarium questioned teh value of the shark nets, claiming that 40% of sharks caught in the nets are actually leaving the beach area. She sees the nets as glorified fishing tools designed to catch sharks rather than protect bathers.
