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.
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.
Authorities are reminding swimmers to stick to patrolled beaches, remain vigilant, and leave the water immediately if a shark alarm is activated.
