Warmer ocean temperatures, an ongoing marine heat wave and changing nursery habitat are creating conditions similar to 2015, when juvenile great white shark activity surged along the California coast, Chris Lowe, director of Cal State Long Beach’s Shark Lab, told Patch.

NSW Premier Chris Minns has rejected calls for a great white shark culling, claiming he's "not convinced” it would work.

>I’m not convinced that a culling or commercial fishing of great whites would make a difference,

These sharks traverse the Pacific Ocean. These sharks can be in Sydney, the next day they can be further up the coast, and then in a couple of weeks they could be in Hawaii or New Zealand.

>I’m concerned it will give false confidence.
