A trial of non-lethal drum lines off WA's south-west coast will come to an end after catching just two white sharks in two years, with the state's chief scientist saying it did not reduce the risk of attack.
After a spate of shark attacks in WA's South West, contractors rolled out 10 drum lines along an 11.5-kilometre stretch of beach in 2019 with the aim of catching, tagging, and moving white pointers offshore.
