A drone pilot associated with the Drone Shark App is working with Surf Life Saving NSW after helping to warn swimmers at Bondi Beach when a great white shark was spotted nearby. Multiple outlets report that the pilot used the app and associated drone spotting capabilities to detect the shark’s presence in the area and then alerted surfers. The reports say the warnings were issued while the shark was lurking close to shore. Surf Life Saving NSW is described as coordinating with the pilot during the incident, reflecting an approach that combines monitoring technology with existing lifeguard and beach safety operations. In the coverage, the emphasis is on the use of the drone pilot’s information to provide timely notification to people in the water. All sources consistently describe the shark as a great white and identify the Drone Shark App pilot as the individual who issued warnings as Surf Life Saving NSW responded and managed beach safety.
