Update on 7 October at 9:45 am
Officers from the Town of Cambridge have reopened beaches in the City Beach area following the removal of the whale carcass and completion of water quality testing.
Additional caution is recommended by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, as any residue from where the whale carcass was beached may attract sharks to the area.
Stay informed of shark activity information by checking the SharkSmart website, download the SharkSmart WA app or follow @SLSWA on X.
