Surge in Sydney Shark Attacks Linked to Murky Waters, Experts Say
Surge in Sydney Shark Attacks Linked to Murky Waters, Experts Say

Four people have been attacked by sharks in New South Wales over the past 48 hours, with three incidents occurring at Sydney beaches. The spate of bites has prompted warnings for swimmers to stay out of the water.

Experts attribute the surge to intense rainfall that has turned the water murky in certain areas. These conditions create a 'perfect storm' that attracts fish and, in turn, sharks seeking prey.

Authorities have advised beachgoers to exercise extreme caution and avoid entering the water until conditions improve. The incidents have raised concerns about the safety of Sydney's coastal waters.
