Following recent shark attacks in Sydney, including a teenager's death and a woman's injury, drones are being deployed for reassurance rather than complete safety.

Shark-related incidents have heightened concerns among residents of Sydney and coastal New South Wales. A teenager tragically died earlier this year amid a series of shark attacks in the area.

More recently, a woman was bitten by a great white shark while swimming, further intensifying fears about safety in the water.

In response, shark-spotting drones have been introduced to monitor coastal waters. However, experts caution that these drones primarily serve as a reassurance measure rather than a foolproof safety solution.
