A 25 year old man has been rushed to hospital after being bitten by a shark in Far North Queensland off the coast of Yarrabah. 

The Cairns Hospital and Health Service has confirmed the man is in a stable condition. 

This comes weeks after a 34 year old man was bitten off the coast of Airlie Beach. 

The Queensland government is in the process of introducing a $4 million pilot program for new technology to mitigate the risk of shark attacks.
