NSW reviews drone surveillance after swimmer loses arm at flagged Coogee zone

Leah Stewart, 35, a teacher, lost her left arm in a shark attack at Coogee Beach on Saturday. She was swimming in the flagged area — the designated zone monitored by lifesavers — when struck. The incident has prompted NSW authorities to review restrictions on drone surveillance, reigniting debate about whether existing safety measures can reliably prevent attacks in monitored waters.
