Shark Bite Trauma Kits Roll Out Across Australia Beaches as Debate Over Shark Nets Continues

Surf Life Saving NSW is rolling out publicly accessible shark bite trauma kits at 129 New South Wales beaches.

The kits are designed to help first responders treat shark attack victims faster before paramedics arrive.

The announcement comes as debate over NSW shark nets intensifies.

Humane World for Animals Australia and the Fisheries Scientific Committee say the nets cause heavy bycatch, including threatened species, and may not be effective.
