Shark Nets out now!

Join Charlotte McCabe, Cate Faehrmann and marine biologist Lauren Sandeman for a film screening and Q&A to find out why shark nets should be removed for good.

Shark nets provide minimal protection to beach users but have a devastating impact on all marine life killing hundreds of dolphins, turtles and rays every year.

Newcastle’s elected Councillors have abandoned marine life and common sense in their recent decision to send no response on the question of shark nets for the NSW Annual Shark Management Survey.

The Minns Government is due to make a decision in the coming months about the use of shark nets at NSW beaches, including Newcastle, and they need to hear from you.

We want state funding invested in modern methods like drones and shark listening stations, that actually keep people safe from dangerous sharks.

Nets are a waste of public funds, outdated and redundant.

If you want to find out more, join us for our screening of Envoy: Shark Cull and a Q&A with Charlotte McCabe, Newcastle Greens Candidate, Greens MP Cate Faehrmann and marine biologist Lauren Sandeman.

Light supper will also be provided.

This event is wheelchair accessible.
