Sydney: Beaches in Sydney have reopened after a shark attack. Coogee Beach in Sydney, Australia, reopened today after being temporarily closed following a shark attack on Saturday, under strict safety precautions.

According to Thai News Agency, the terrifying incident occurred last Saturday when a 35-year-old woman was bitten on her left arm and lower leg by a shark approximately 3-4 meters long, believed to be a great white shark, while swimming just 30 meters from shore. Her condition is now stable and out of danger.

While Coogee Beach reopened today after a temporary closure, Randwick City Council and its lifeguard team deployed jet skis to patrol the area throughout the day and immediately installed additional smart tracking devices following the incident. Authorities have also issued an emergency exemption allowing lifeguards to use drones for aerial surveillance to detect shark activity. Previously, this was prohibited because Coogee Beach is located under Sydney Airport's flight path, and the area is normally subject to strict flight restrictions by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Bureau.

The latest shark attack on humans comes amid a rising number of shark encounters in Australia in recent years, sparking renewed social criticism. Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has called for stricter shark control measures for human safety. Meanwhile, New South Wales Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty stated that no safety measures are being considered at this time, but the state government will initially focus on using technology and drones for prevention, as great white sharks are protected under environmental laws.
