🦈 SHARK NETS- YES OR NO? 🦈
Members from Coolum & North Shore Coast Care joined other concerned people at a demonstration in Mooloolaba recently, with the rally in opposition to the Qld Government’s expansion of the shark net program.
▪️A Coast Care spokesperson said the nets catch many non-target species.
“We were hoping for removal of shark nets especially during the whale migration. Qld does not want to go backwards when there are alternate technologies for shark mitigation available.”
▪️What do you think? Should we have shark nets or should they be removed? Let us know in the comments below 👇
