A shark ADVICE has been issued due to a whale carcass being reported at James Service reef approximately 8 kilometres offshore west of Singleton.
The whale carcass was sighted by a member of the public and reported to Fisheries at about 3pm on Wednesday,
Surf Life Saving WA said a 4.5 metre white shark and a 3 metre tiger shark have been sighted with the whale carcass.
"It is possible the carcass will act as an attractant that could lead to other sharks coming close to the reef and in to shore along this stretch of coast.
"While it’s not uncommon for sharks to be present off the Western Australian coast throughout the year, people should exercise additional caution until the incident is resolved."
