  • Equipment locations

    See the beaches with shark control equipment across Queensland.

  • Report entangled animals

    We respond to animals entangled in shark control program nets or drumlines.

  • Shark nets

    Large mesh nets are set parallel to the beach to catch sharks more than 2 metres long.

  • Drumlines

    Drumlines catch actively feeding sharks using bait attached to shark fishing hooks.

  • Drones

    Drones monitor certain Queensland beaches to detect sharks and gather data on shark movements and behaviour.

  • Catch alert drumlines

    Catch alert drumlines use satellite technology to notify contractors when an animal is caught.
