Man bitten by shark at Port Noarlunga

June 2025 A man is in a critical but stable condition after being bitten by a shark at Port Noarlunga, emergency services say. SA Police said emergency services were called to the Port Noarlunga jetty about 9:45am after reports that a man swimming in the water had been bitten by a shark. They said the man aged in his 60s was helped from the water and treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital. The SA Ambulance Service said the man has an injury to his thigh. In the meantime, concerns have been growing about the welfare of local marine life due to incidents, described by experts as “unusual”. Experts have questioned whether the recent toxic algae bloom seen in parts of the South Australian coastline had brought marine life into shallower waters. Authorities removed at least three dead white sharks including one which had washed up on Henley Beach earlier this month.
