Cover Story: A tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) tracked off Angourie, New South Wales, Australia using drone-based tracking by pilot Dr Andrew Colefax. The shark was found on 18 July 2018 at 13:20 local time (EST) in the vicinity of a whale carcass, which had stranded on the coastal sandy beach. The shark was estimated to be 4.1 m total length, which was determined using drone-based photogrammetry. We visited this site over a number of days and tracked numerous white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and two tiger sharks. This project was part of an extensive drone program lead by NSW Department of Primary Industries scientist Dr Paul Butcher between 2015 and 2020 to quantify the effectiveness of drones as a tool to minimise the occurrence of shark–human interactions along coastal beaches. This research was completed as part of the New South Wales Governments $16 million Shark Management Strategy. View this paper
