Sydney shark sightings : Authorities have urged swimmers to remain cautious after two separate shark sightings were reported on Sydney’s northern beaches this afternoon.
Beaches stretching from Manly to Freshwater were closed when a shark monitoring sensor detected a tagged tiger shark near the North Steyne receiver.
Meanwhile, swimmers from North Narrabeen to Collaroy were placed on high alert following reports from a passing vessel of a shark measuring more than six metres spotted about 200 metres offshore at North Narrabeen.

Lifeguards from Northern Beaches Council, along with Surf Life Saving NSW patrols, deployed jet-skis to scan the area and drive the shark back out to sea.

With no additional sightings reported, the beaches have since been reopened.
Authorities are reminding swimmers to stick to patrolled beaches, remain vigilant, and leave the water immediately if a shark alarm is activated.
