Exclusive: Minns government forced to release photos as it pushes ahead with the same shark meshing program for coming season
Images of sea creatures including bleeding dolphins and drowned seals that died in shark nets along the New South Wales coastline last summer have been released by the state government as it pushes ahead with the same meshing program for the coming season.
The graphic Department of Primary Industries photos, obtained by a conservationist under information access laws, show animals that died after being caught in the nets at 10 different beaches between September 2022 and April this year.
