WARNING: Holes in the Shark Nets!
Friday, February 13th, 2009
A shark net off St. Kilda beach in Australia was recently found with three gaping holes in it. Not good, considering it’s summer over there. Free divers Nick Holmes and Chris Garden discovered the nets while diving in the area.
Holmes told the Otago Daily Times the net with the holes had been there for at least a month, as he’d made repeat visits to study the net’s condition.
Apparently, commercial fishermen are paid to check and maintain the nets regularly.
Looks like somebody’s got some explaining to do.

LOL
Just to let you know – St Kilda Beach is off Melbourne in Australia (my old home) – not new zealand
LOVE this blog – have you linked on mine.
thanks damien… i always do that!
No probs mate.
I think keeping holes mended in those nets is like keeping illeagals from coming across the border. You fix one hole… there are probably 4 more. Big hole though…hate to think about what went through it!
this is actually St Kilda beach in Dunedin, New Zealand, not Melbourne, Australia
