Drones Return to Coogee Beach
Description
Coogee Beach is back in the spotlight—this time with drones buzzing overhead to spot sharks after a shocking attack left a swimmer badly injured. Once banned due to proximity to Sydney Airport, the drone patrols are now back with an emergency exemption, sparking a major rethink of NSW’s shark safety strategy. Officials are pushing for permanent drone access, exploring extreme measures like culls, and investing in tech to track sharks in real time. While beaches stay closed and jet skis patrol, the message is clear: nothing is off the table when it comes to keeping people safe—even if it means walking a razor’s edge between innovation and nature’s unpredictability.
