Sydney’s Coogee Beach reopened on Monday (June 15) under the watchful eyes of lifeguards and drone surveillance, after a shark attack over the weekend left a woman critically injured and prompted a safety review at Australia’s popular shorelines.
The 35-year-old victim was swimming about 30 meters (100 feet) from the shore on Saturday (June 13) morning when she was bitten by a three-to-four-meter-long shark, sustaining serious injuries to her arms and lower left leg. She remains in hospital in stable condition.
Some locals were hesitant to go back into the water.
