A 340-meter eco-friendly shark barrier is being installed at Bathers Beach, Fremantle, to protect swimmers, with completion expected by December 2025.
A 340-meter shark barrier is being installed at Bathers Beach in Fremantle, creating a protected 60,000-square-meter swimming area offshore.
Made of eco-friendly mesh, the barrier is designed to prevent shark encounters without harming marine life and will be deployed from vessels to minimize disruption.
Expected completion is by December 2025, with the barrier remaining in place until April before being stored.
The project, delayed by heritage and regulatory approvals, follows shark incidents in 2021 and 2023.
Funded by the WA government and city, it's the ninth such enclosure in the state, part of a broader shark hazard mitigation strategy.
Officials urge swimmers to use the SharkSmart WA app for safety.
