Sydney Harbour Shark Attack Leaves Swimmer Severely Injured

A rare shark attack by a bull shark in Sydney Harbour has prompted calls for swimmers to avoid the water at dawn and dusk when the aggressive sharks are most active. The victim, identified as Lauren O’Neill, was attacked while kayaking near a private pier, but received prompt assistance from witnesses. Despite the frequency of bull shark visits to the harbor, officials believe the risks are low if people take precautions such as swimming in the right places and during daylight hours. Experts warn that climate change may lead to longer stays by bull sharks in the region's coastal and harbor areas.
