此项追加投资源于本月一名三十多岁的女子在雪梨最受欢迎的库吉海滩遭遇鲨鱼袭击，导致手臂和腿部严重受伤，以及其他多起引起高度关注的袭击事件。新南威尔斯州总理克里斯·明斯表示，这些措施旨在降低风险，并为在该州海滩游泳的民众提供安全感。（关键数字：30）
由新南威尔斯州冲浪救生协会主导的额外监控将于7月1日开始，涵盖从北部棕榈海滩到南部克罗纳拉海滩的38个雪梨海滩，许多区域海滩也将获得额外监控。此外，政府表示在夏季将测试至少两种新的防鲨人工智慧系统，以提高侦测效率。
Sydney's beaches will feature daily dawn-to-dusk drone monitoring for sharks starting in July following a series of shark attacks off the Australian coast. The state government will invest A$120 million ($83 million) over the next two years in its shark mitigation strategy, which includes an additional A$34 million allocated specifically for drone surveillance. (Key numbers: 1.2, 8300, 3400)
This extra funding follows a recent incident at Coogee Beach, one of Sydney's most popular beaches, where a woman in her 30s suffered severe arm and leg injuries from a shark attack, alongside other high-profile incidents. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns stated that the measures aim to reduce risk and restore confidence for swimmers at the state's beaches.
Led by Surf Life Saving NSW, the enhanced monitoring will commence on July 1, covering 38 beaches in Sydney from Palm Beach in the north to Cronulla in the south, with regional beaches also receiving support. The government also announced that at least two new artificial intelligence systems will be trialled over the summer to improve shark detection capabilities.
