The New South Wales state government has spent millions of dollars on technology in an attempt to reduce shark attacks along its coast amid public concern, deploying nets at 51 beaches, as well as drones and shark listening stations that can track white sharks by satellite and send an alert when one is sighted.
新南威尔士州政府已经在技术上花费了数百万美元，试图减少公众关注的沿海鲨鱼袭击事件。51个海滩均部署了渔网、无人机以及鲨鱼监听站，以便通过卫星跟踪大白鲨，一旦发现其踪迹，立即发出警报。
