Shark net: History, Environmental impact & Controversy

A shark net is a submerged section of gillnets placed at beaches designed to intercept large marine animals including sharks, with the aim to reduce the likelihood of shark attacks on swimmers. The gillnets form a wall of netting that hangs in the water and captures the marine animals by entanglement.
