Cases of attack by sharks nowadays come to the fore. Recently, a surfer went missing after being ambushed by a shark at Australia's southwest coast on Friday in an area well known for great white encounters. The surfer, believed to be a man, was attacked on Friday morning off Kelp Beds beach, near Esperance that is about a seven-hour drive from Perth, local police gave information. A nearby surfer tried to help the man after he was attacked but could not pull him from the water, Western Australia premier Mark McGowan informed media.

McGowan said, "It sounds like it's a very, very difficult and very serious situation going on there at the moment." Western Australia Police Force Senior Sergeant Justin Tarasinski informed national broadcaster ABC, "The man's surfboard washed-up on shore showing "obvious signs of shark attack" but rescuers were still scouring waters for the surfer." Tarasinski said, "Unfortunately at this point in time, no we've not recovered the surfer that was involved in the attack and the search operations are ongoing."

He stated that the beach had been hustling at the time with about eight surfers in the waves and several more people onshore. In January a man was killed by a great white at a nearby diving spot and three years earlier a 17-year-old girl was mauled to death at the same beach. While in 2014, a young surfer lost parts of both arms after being attacked by two great whites, also off Esperance. There have been six fatal shark attacks in Australian waters so far this year, according to the Australian Shark Attack File maintained by Taronga Conservation Society Australia.
