Created 05/05/2025

Updated 05/05/2025

In response to three shark bite incidents that occurred in Cid Harbour, Whitsunday Islands, between September and November 2018, The State of Queensland, acting through the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, commissioned a scientific study to investigate the prevalence and behaviour of sharks in the Cid Harbour region. The present report reports the results from the first field trip to Cid Harbour, conducted from 13 to 19 December 2018. Several sampling methods were tested, including catch methods (single hook droplines, longlines), baited underwater video cameras (BRUVs), drones and acoustic and satellite tracking.
