Shark Control Program Research Strategy This research strategy outlines priorities for the future to inform government investment and opportunities for other partners to contribute to answering key research questions.
“This report demonstrates how easily Queensland could update their program to keep swimmers and marine wildlife safe,” Lawrence Chlebeck, marine biologist with HSI said. Using costs provided by the Australian contractors and businesses named in QDAF’s report, the estimated annual operating cost of non-lethal shark control throughout Queensland is $4.16 million. We just don’t know how the rest will be spent apart from increased contractor costs.”, “This extra funding for the QSCP barely moves Queensland Labor towards honouring their own policy platform of expanding marine conservation programs based on sound scientific evidence and advice, including an investigation and ongoing scientific review of non-lethal shark monitoring, control, and incident prevention measures.”. “The only thing the current program does well is take a terrible toll on marine wildlife. – reconfirm roadmap, Council helps sports clubs get back up and running, Two arrested; search warrant underway at Wollongong, Droughts are threatening global wetlands: new study. The Tribunal also stated that there was overwhelming evidence that shark culling does not reduce the risk of shark bite. It’s been independently proven by shark researchers and in legal proceedings. A transition to SMART, non-lethal, Drumlines in the Great Barrier Reef was legally mandated by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in 2019, and as such, SMART drumlines were not included in the report. The Queensland Shark Control Program aims to minimise negative encounters between humans and sharks and protect people swimming and recreating at Queensland beaches. So, why should our beaches be any different?”. The Queensland Shark Control Program Modernisation Proposal and Cost Estimate, investigated the funding required for non-lethal solutions outlined in the Cardno Review of Alternative Approaches report commissioned by the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (QDAF) last year. cheaper than the current amount of $17.1 million over four years proposed by Minister Furner in June 2019. a dugong wash up on a beach dead after drowning in a shark net. “There’s been 60 years of progress in our understanding of shark behaviour and technology, and it’s long past time for a change.”, “Shark culling does not reduce the risk of shark bite.

Drum lines can result in the death of sharks and bycatch. Non-lethal, modern solutions considered in the cost estimate include drones, new barrier technologies, and education. Queensland Government Doubles Down On Unscientific Shark Killing Program Tuesday, Jun 18, 2019 Last week the Queensland Government announced an additional investment of $17.1M in Queensland's unscientific shark killing program, despite recent findings that killing sharks makes no difference to the safety of beachgoers.

Sea Shepherd Australia is calling on the QSCP Scientific Working Group to urgently investigate appropriate non-lethal methods suitable for each of these areas where QSCP gear is currently deployed. This expanded budget for QLD's Shark Control Program (QSCP) will not minimise the number of dolphins, whales, turtles, rays and sharks entangled and killed in shark nets, as well as on drumlines - marine animals in which a significant part of our economy depends. Trials will be informed by the Scientific Working Group and a review of alternatives undertaken by a leading engineering, environment and design consultancy.
The Queensland Government seems utterly disinterested in providing real beach safety with currently available technologies that are proven to be effective and have no impact on our precious marine ecosystems.”. Last year, HSI challenged the lethal Queensland Shark Control Program in the Great Barrier Reef in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and won, with the Tribunal declaring the program “unscientific” and out of step with current national and international developments.
