No bites at Ballina today

The sharks have been biting a lot at Ballina (and other nearby) beaches in the last couple of years. That's biting as in sharks biting people, as well as the usual vice versa.

We noted that there weren't that many people in the water at Lighthouse Beach as we passed by.

A shark net has been installed recently, amidst much controversy. They cause a lot of deaths to other sea creatures, and many species of sharks are in fact endangered (unlike humans). The Great White Shark, probably the most feared one of the lot, is also the most endangered. There are fewer of them left in the world than there are tigers.
