flag New South Wales is accelerating drone surveillance at 32 beaches starting December 13, expanding to 50 by December 20, following fatal shark attacks that killed surfer Mercury Psillakis and Swiss tourist Olivia Mulheim. flag The $2.5 million initiative includes drone patrols during the holiday season, extended to weekends until March 2026, training for surf clubs, and distribution of 150 shark bite kits. flag The program aims to improve early shark detection, building on last summer’s 18,000 drone flights and 815 shark sightings. flag Officials stress that while no system ensures safety, technology, training, and public awareness through tools like the SharkSmart app enhance protection.
