(From smh.com.au) Australia – Dozens of shark nets will start going up off beaches from Wollongong to Newcastle from today, but a dispute has broken out about their impact on other marine life. The nets could kill migrating whales and endangered grey nurse sharks without making swimmers any safer, according to Greens MP Ian Cohen.
“Under the watch of this minister we could lose an apex species, the grey nurse – the labrador of the sea,” Mr Cohen said.
