JAKARTA - Several popular beaches in Sydney were closed after sharks attacked dolphins in waters near the city.
At least two bull sharks were spotted in theESSion Beach area, north Sydney. After the attack, the authorities closed all nearby beaches as a precaution.
The injured dolphins circled shallow water but ended up stranded and died.
The Manly Open Surf, a carnival that took place on the beach over the weekend, has been suspended on Sunday, January 22, quoted from Antara.
The coast guard evacuated people from the water after the attack that occurred at around local time on Saturday, January 21.
Hundreds of people have been looking to compete in the festival.
Bribe Hare-Boyd, spokesman for Surf Life Saving New South Wales (SLSNSW), is pleased with the news that no one was injured in the attack.
The SLSNSW said it was monitoring shark activity through drones and urged people not to enter the water until it was deemed safe by the coast guard.
An eyewitness who was onskop told ABC News that he was initially happy to see a dolphin swimming in the bay.
But he immediately learned there were sharks in the water and swimmers were told to stay on dry land.
"We came back and saw the dolphins on a very sad beach," he said.
