There have been renewed calls to better manage Queensland's shark population, with anglers and recreational fishers claiming shark numbers are booming and encounters are becoming more common.

Earlier this year it was revealed that more than 3,400 sharks were caught on drumlines between the Gold Coast and Cairns during 2025 – more than double the previous year and more than triple the year prior to that.

So what is making them venture closer to the shore?

Many recreational and commercial fishers are worried about this and they want to see action. But do they really have the right to be worried?

Shark Expert at Bond University, Dr Daryl McPhee, joins Burty to talk more about what is happening with our shark populations.
