END SHARK NETS IN NSW
What started as a misguided attempt to reduce the risk of shark bite for public safety has turned into a drawn-out and devastating force on our #MarineLife. The NSW Department of Primary Industries still deploys #SharkNets at 51 beaches from #Newcastle to #Wollongong every year.
#Dolphins, #rays, #turtles and #sharks are routinely entangled and drown – the vast majority of animals caught are not considered in any way dangerous.
