Authorities plan to tag sharks after they are drawn toward shore by a large, decomposing whale carcass at City Beach. Reports say several sharks are spotted circling the area following the arrival of the carcass, which is described as weighing about 31 tonnes.
The tagging effort is intended to document and monitor the sharks that move close to the coastline in response to the feeding opportunity created by the carcass. The outlets report the same location and rationale for the operation, with authorities responding to the unusual shark activity around the beach.
While the reporting is consistent on what is happening and why authorities will tag the sharks, details about the specific species involved, the tagging methods, and any related public safety measures are not included in the provided summaries.
