⚠️31/08/26 18:20 (DELAYED) 2.5m GWS AT HENLEY BEACH, 400m offshore.

SAPOL has advised the public that a 2.5m White Shark was observed 400m offshore from Henley Beach, yesterday evening. Due to procedural requirements which excludes these agencies from coordinating real-time shark sighting information to Shark Watch SA, we were unable to receive and push out correspondents earlier.

A Broadnose Sevengill Shark was found dead at Grange Beach this morning. It’s unclear what caused the sharks death. The species is found in South Australian waters and feeds on a variety of bony fishes, as well as Rays, Seals, and small Cetaceans. They are commonly caught by recreational anglers right throughout the year in South Australia.

On this occasion, we thank Mara for sending in this photographic documentation to Shark Watch. Reports like this can help us establish a vague inventory of what’s out in the decimated gulf, as South Australia begins to count the cost of the Algal Bloom disaster.

While also reporting deceased sharks to Shark Watch SA, the advice is to report all dead/dying marine life to PIRSA Fish Watch on 1800 065 522 and lodge a report on iNaturalist. For marine mammals, birds, and other wildlife, contact the Emergency Animal Diseases Hotline on 1800 675 888. We hope this will be the last reported fatality of marine life for some time…

🚨TEXT MSG ALERTS pushed out to Shark Watch SA members as tagged White Shark, Sunset, made his detection off Coulta this morning, approximately 2km Southeast from Coles Point and . Alerts are manually pushed out via regular monitoring of the online tracker, as we have no built-in integration system for direct push notifications.

We wonder how many other un-tagged sharks are in the same area. This shark has spent the entire month of August travelling up and down offshore waters from Gallipoli Beach to Greenly Beach, but always being detected a few kilometres offshore. A reminder that Argos satellite detections can be up to 10km inaccurate.

Tagged Mako Shark, Blender, has continued pinging on a remarkable Westerly journey with its latest detection registering Southwest of Bremer Bay in Western Australia.

After 184 days of monitoring, she accompanies four other White Sharks which made the cross-border journey. Two more tagged White Sharks (Metric and Bluey) are also not far behind on a Westerly pursuit.

There are 15 Lamnidae Sharks that can be actively monitored in real-time using the Biopixel Bio Tracker. After making headlines last week, the now infamous tagged White Shark, Dusty, is closing in on King Island in Bass Strait after spending months in waters around Boston Island and Port Lincoln.

This exemplifies the unpredictable nature of Mackerel Sharks and the need for further research and monitoring to better inform the public about shark population dispersion and risk management. Outside of the team of Flinders Uni academics, from an empirical and community standpoint, Shark Watch SA uses public photographic data from shark sightings and drones to identify individual sharks. Coupled with data from satellite tagging operations, these two methods of data collection can help bring the community greater insights about shark migration patterns and behavioural trends at different coastal communities around the state.
