ARE there deadly sharks in the Sydney harbour? |
Travel Info My friend doesnt believe me that we have deadly sharks in the sydney harbour. I know grey nurse and port jacksons arent deadly but im SURE we have other sharks that are deadly in the harbour? Travel Tips Since 1791 there have been 83 unprovoked shark attacks in Sydney Harbour. The last fatal incident was in 1963. Five attacks have been recorded since then - two on the ocean floor off North Head, two on surf skiers and on in the Parramatta River. Shark meshing began on Sydney's surf beaches in 1967 so it is very unlikely you will encounter a deadly shark while swimming in Sydney's beaches or harbour. Others Sharks live in water so every time you enter the water there could be a shark there & that is the truth just because its beautiful Sydney Harbour does not make you safe Would you believe they did a report on the likelihood of a shark attack in Sydney during the 2000 Olympic Games? You can read all about it at : http://amonline.net.au/pdf/sharkrpt.pdf... There are four species of sharks that are responsible for most shark attacks - the Oceanic White Tip, the Great White, the Tiger Shark and the Bull Shark; all occur in the Syndey region If you can't be bothered reading the 35 pages, the report basically tells us that since 1791 there have been 83 unprovoked shark attack with the last shark attack fatality in 1963. The meshing of the beaches in 1937 have considerably reduced the risk. There are deadly sharks in Sydney Harbour. Probably not many but they are there. Grey Nurses are maneaters, I believe!
