NEW ACTION FOR NSW RESIDENTS:

"New Terrigal-based community group Friends of Kurrawyba has launched a petition calling for the NSW Government to permanently remove shark meshing from NSW beaches from the end of April in this year.

The group will hold a gathering at Terrigal on Sunday, April 28, to raise public awareness.

“We need to stop pretending that these ‘bather protection nets’ or ‘shark nets’ protect swimmers, when what they really do is injure and kill endangered and protected species,” spokesperson Izabela Sajdok said.

Sajdok, who is a local artist, will be on Terrigal Beach from 8am on Sunday morning to create a painting showing the damage that shark nets inflict upon rays, turtles, dolphins, and protected sharks, including the grey nurse.

“If you love the ocean and its creatures, you will know that these nets, that are supposed to protect swimmers from sharks, give nothing but a false sense of security,” she said."
