BiteMetrix Report

BiteMetrix reports provide surfers and beachgoers with “at a glance”
illustrations that show areas with increased risk of shark-human interaction.
BiteMetrix reports identify areas of risk by tracking upwelling events and other oceanographic factors that occur along the Australian coastline. These events produce ocean environments favourable for the presence of increased marine life, including larger marine predators responsible for most of shark-human interactions in Australian waters.
Simply select “Get Reports” and scroll down to choose your section of coastline to know what is going on under the surface before you paddle out.
