Queensland expanded drone surveillance to six beaches post-2025 shark death, boosting non-lethal monitoring.
Queensland has expanded its SharkSmart drone surveillance to six new beaches, including parts of the southern Gold Coast, following a fatal shark attack in February 2025 and growing criticism of traditional shark nets and drum lines.
The program, now funded at over $88 million with 60% allocated to non-lethal tech, has conducted 545 flights and detected 149 sharks since its expansion.
Drones provide real-time alerts and monitor rip currents, offering dual safety benefits.
The government has secured permits for flights in restricted airspace, signaling a shift toward science-backed, sustainable shark management amid concerns over environmental harm from older methods.
