Sharks Info, attacks and stats

Can the shark attacks increase in Australia? Sure they can. We all know that bulls sharks love shallow water and the  areas where the rivers join the sea. well this news gives us some more info about the options  in the potential increase of shark attacks in Australia .

Queensland Shark Control Program manager Tony Ham says bull sharks and whalers can be active in muddy river mouths and beaches after heavy rain.

He is warning surfers and swimmers to be careful until the water clears.

“There’s a distinct link between murky water, heavy rainfall and the movement of bull sharks in and out of rivers and creeks,” he said.

“Basically what we’d be advising people is to think about whether there is a need for them to swim or where abouts they’re going to swim over the next few days just so that they’re aware that there is the possibility of some increased shark movement.”
