Historic dataset wording is shown as recorded. These entries provide background context and do not indicate present shark activity.

802 sharks are recorded in Queensland program catch data for Noosa program area from 1996 to 2026. Catch match: shared area.

02

Documented measures

Noosa has 2 nets and 3 drumlines; this is shared regional context for the adjacent Noosa points.

Noosa Main Beach drone patrols operate on scheduled weekends and holidays, weather permitting.

Drone operations are scheduled and weather-dependent. Gear and drone listings are not proof that a beach is risk-free or that monitoring is active at this moment.

03

How to read the rating

A higher score means a lighter documented incident history in the matched ASID records. It is not a prediction of current shark presence or beach safety.

Each location is labelled exact, shared area, nearby or island-wide. Shared and nearby records may appear for more than one surf spot and must not be added together. Program catches and protective measures are reported separately from incidents.

Counts are influenced by beach use, reporting, location naming, program design and the period covered. “No exact match” does not mean no incidents or no risk.

SOURCES + ATTRIBUTION

Historical incident data are adapted and aggregated from the Australian Shark-Incident Database (ASID), maintained by Taronga Conservation Society Australia in partnership with Flinders University and the NSW Department of Primary Industries.

Before entering: check BOM warnings, conditions, beach signage and lifeguard advice. Call 000 for emergencies.
