00:02As the community continues to mourn the loss of Greg O'Neill, attention turning to mitigation measures.
00:09You can intervene before the shark actually attacks anybody.
00:14So you can get people out of the water, there's no bycatch as there is with shark nets.
00:19Mr O'Neill was taken by a white shark at Sorrento Beach in Perts North on Friday.
00:25Authorities tried to render assistance but it was too late.
00:28A shark drone expert calling for an increased use of drones pointing to expanded surveillance at all Sydney beaches following
00:36an attack at Coogee in June.
00:39We really need to embrace new technology and forget about drumlines.
00:44WA's Deputy Premier flagging a potential increase without a solid funding commitment.
00:49We're happy to look at what other measures we can take in relation to aerial surveillance to support people feeling
00:57much safer on our beaches.
00:58The state's fisheries minister has ordered a catch and kill of the shark responsible.
01:03Today the trap set. Shark capture gear put into the water about a kilometre and a half offshore but...
01:09The reality is that the chances of you finding the exact shark that was responsible is slim to nothing.
01:17That's the advice that we received in relation to how we should respond and I 100% support the minister.
01:25It will be some time before this beach is back to normal but locals are determined in due course to
01:33reclaim the space they cherish.
01:35Yeah, it will affect a lot of people but I think people will come again to the beach.
01:42Well I've been here and then down at Swanbourne all my life and they're just there.
01:46You know, you've got to accept that there are sharks there.
01:48Taking time to heal after a tragedy too close to home.
01:53We'll see you in the next 2.
01:53I love you in the next 4 minutes.
01:54Thank you so much for the time you're...
01:55...
