NORTH SHORE MUMS :: LATEST NEWS

Hands up if the recent shark news has you second-guessing every beach trip and harbour swim with the kids this summer? 🙋‍♀️

Here's what a marine ecologist from Humane World for Animals Australia wants every Sydney parent to know... shark bites are still incredibly rare (you're literally more likely to be hurt by a cow!), BUT there are specific times and conditions when the risk goes up – and most of us don't know what they are.

Get the facts, the safety strategies that actually work, and expert tips for talking to your kids about sharks in a way that educates without scaring them.
