Episode description
A 1.2-metre dusky shark was discovered inside the netted harbour pool at Manly Beach in Sydney, forcing swimmers from the water. Council workers found no holes in the netting, leaving the shark's entry point a mystery. Shark expert Dr Chris Pepin-Neff discusses the safety of netted enclosures, calls for standardised audits across Sydney harbour pools, and addresses concerns about funding and maintenance following a tragic summer of shark incidents.
