Gold Coast conservationists are sparking public debates on the usage of shark nets after the release of a highly anticipated documentary calling for changes to our shark control measures, which haven’t been altered in 59 years.
"A lot of people think shark nets are a barrier. They're not — they're a fishing device." said film director, Andre Borell.
The fisheries minister, Mark Furner, responded to the claims saying they had no plans to remove the equipment from Queensland Controlled waters.
