Sharks, oceans, and the loophole protecting lethal nets

Shark nets and drumlines bypass Australia’s federal environmental protections because of a legal loophole that our government chose not to take the opportunity to fix in the recent review. Join Sea Shepherd Australia Shark Defence Campaign Coordinator Jonathan Clark to expose the EPBC Act exemption allowing these lethal culls to continue. Jonathan will share frontline accounts and reveal how a planned Queensland Government expansion of these programs should trigger a federal review – a mechanism that should end this practice. He will also showcase modern, non-lethal solutions like drone surveillance that keep beachgoers safe without destroying ecosystems.
