Shark attacks drone in shocking moment

Shark activity has witnessed a noticeable spike along the New South Wales (NSW) coastline. Approximately 50 sharks were sighted in an area between Moruya and Broulee in November last year alone.

This corresponds with news 2020 was the deadliest year for shark attacks in Australia in almost a century.

And nine people were reportedly killed in some 60 shark attacks worldwide during the year.

Shark experts have now identified the current La Nina weather patterns as the key factor responsible for creating the ideal conditions for drawing sharks closer to shore.

However, the total of 26 shark attacks recorded by the Australian Shark Attack File last year is actually not that unusual, according to Macquarie University's Professor Culum Brown.
