Although the chance of dying from a shark attack in your lifetime is just one in 3.7 million, it doesn’t hurt to be a little vigilant in areas frequently visited by sharks. With this in mind, the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) has announced that a $250,000 shark attack-spotting rescue drone will soon be trialled in the region.
