The aim of the survey was not to scare the beachgoers but just beware them of the attacks happening. Another study shows that the Perth Beach is not at a high risk of facing such attacks. In 2014, Peter Sprivulis, professor of emergency medicine at the University of Western Australia, conducted a study on how safe were the beachgoers. He tells the PerthNow that, “Over summer, going to the beach, splashing near the shore is very, very low risk.”
