Four people have been attacked by sharks in New South Wales in 48 hours, including three incidents at Sydney beaches. The spate of bites has prompted warnings for swimmers to stay out of the water.
Experts attribute the surge to a 'perfect storm' of conditions. Intense rainfall has caused the water to become murky in some areas, making them attractive spots for fish and sharks to feed.
The murky water reduces visibility, increasing the likelihood of accidental encounters between sharks and humans. Swimmers are advised to avoid the water until conditions improve.
