Drones flew overhead under \u200bemergency provisions to scan for sharks.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;It&#8217;s been a really tough summer of shark activity and shark attacks in \u200bSydney and it&#8217;s something that the NSW government is taking really, really seriously,&#8221; said Tara Moriarty, New South Wales state&#8217;s minister for agriculture.<\/div>\n<div>Moriarty said the government would consider fresh measures to keep swimmers safe from shark attacks, including using drones and other \u200btechnology.<\/div>\n<div>Australian lifesavers use drones to help watch for sharks, but Coogee Beach has had restrictions covering commercial drone \u200buse because it sits under the flight path of Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport.<\/div>\n<div>After the attack, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation \u200cSafety \u2060Authority said in a statement that it would look at adapting the current rules.<\/div>\n<h2>PADDLEBOARDER RESCUE<\/h2>\n<div>Paddleboard champion and off-duty lifeguard Charlie Verco, 25, who rescued the woman and brought her to shore, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that he was &#8220;very scared&#8221; when he saw the three-to-four-metre shark near a group of swimmers.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;I just looked at the \u200bbeach, tried to signal to \u200bthe lifeguards, a big \u2060code X, to get them to understand how it was going on out there, clear the water if they could, and get the power craft out there,&#8221; he \u200bsaid.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;She ended up getting taken underwater for a second. I couldn&#8217;t see where \u200bshe was because \u2060it was all red. And luckily, she popped up and shark had let her go and I was able to get close enough to bring her into shore.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>There, they were met by lifeguards, police and medical experts, after \u2060which the \u200bwoman was taken by ambulance to the hospital.<\/div>\n<div>Australia has seen \u200ba spate of shark attacks this year.<\/div>\n<div>Most shark attacks occur along the east and southeast seaboard of Australia, which averages around 20 such \u200bincidents a year, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1915\">Scotland hang on for\u00a0first World Cup win since 1990 with 1-0 victory over Haiti<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1913\">Ancelotti\u2019s Brazil escape Morocco scare after first-half horror show<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1910\">Morocco expose Brazil flaws but settle for draw in World Cup heavyweight clash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restrictions on drones flying over Australia&#8217;s Coogee Beach will be reviewed by a regulator so \u200brescuers in New South Wales state can monitor for sharks, after an attack on Saturday \u200cleft a woman critically injured in the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4],"class_list":["post-1917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-asia-pacific"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
