Shark Alert Causes Beach Closure in Australia
In Australia, all beaches have been closed due to rising fresh shark sightings following an attack that left a surfer with serious arm and leg injuries.
There were couple of sightings reported at the Ballina Region, north of Sydney. Several beaches were closed on Sunday after these sightings. However swimmers still venture out to the beaches and were told to be vigilant.
The presence of baitfish school was attracting a lot of sharks to Ballina and nearby areas. The interest of water sports has become popular so there are more attacks however, fatalities remain rare.
