I was hoping that each shark would have its own twitter account, but no, you have to follow @SLSWA.
What do tweets like "The SW Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter has sighted a 2.5m U/K shark, 2m off shore at Rocky Point, Eagle Bay." mean, anyway? There's a 2.5 meter-long shark 2 meters off shore, or a 2.5 mile-long shark 2 miles off shore?
Inconsistent use of the metric system aside, the article states that SLSWA will tweet "when a tagged shark swims within about a kilometre of a beach". 2 miles is more than three kilometers off shore. Some of the tweets are tracking sharks tens of miles off shore. What the hell, SLSWA?
