NSW Beaches Shut as Shark Attacks Surge to Four in Three Days

Four shark attacks off New South Wales over three days prompted beach closures and advisories to avoid open water in favor of pools; a 39-year-old surfer escaped with minor injuries after a shark struck his board at Point Plomer, while earlier attacks left a man and a boy with serious leg injuries. Authorities cited murky water from rainfall increasing bull shark activity and deployed electronic drumlines; beach nets did not cover the latest location.

Shark spree prompts NSW beach closures after four attacks in 48 hours

Four bull-shark attacks in 48 hours along New South Wales’ coast have led to the closure of about 40 beaches. Murky, post-rain waters and estuary feeding draw sharks toward popular Sydney-area spots, with a 12-year-old boy and a 25-year-old surfer in critical condition. An 11-year-old’s board was bitten and another man was attacked at Point Plomer. Officials say the spike likely reflects more people at beaches and polluted, churned water rather than a rising bull-shark population, and are using lifeguards, drones, and a rescue helicopter as conditions gradually clear. Authorities urge caution and water avoidance while warnings remain in place.

US Beaches Closed or Warned for Fecal Bacteria Ahead of Labor Day

Many U.S. beaches are closed or under advisories due to high levels of fecal bacteria like E. coli and enterococci, which can cause illnesses. Contamination sources include runoff, sewage, and storms, especially during peak summer. Beachgoers are advised to check water conditions before swimming, avoid polluted waters, and be cautious after heavy rains to stay safe.
