Four Shark Attacks in 48 Hours Prompt Beach Closures and Safety Measures in Australia

Australia's New South Wales coast has experienced four shark attacks within 48 hours, including incidents near Point Plomer, North Steyne Beach, Shark Beach, and Dee Why Beach. Authorities, suspecting bull sharks and citing poor water quality, have closed around 40 beaches and advised the public to avoid surfing, recommending pools instead. Two individuals remain critically injured, while others sustained minor wounds. Enhanced safety measures, including drone surveillance and lifeguard patrols, have been deployed to monitor shark activity and protect beachgoers.
