The family of Sydney mother Leah Stewart, who was mauled by a shark last weekend, says she has required the amputation of her arm, with more surgeries scheduled for coming days.
Ms Stewart was bitten while swimming between the flags at Coogee Beach just before 11am on Saturday.
The 35-year-old was taken to St Vincent's Hospital where she remains in a critical condition.
Her family said she sustained "life-threatening" injuries including multiple bites across her arms and legs, lacerations and fractures throughout her body and extreme blood loss.
‘Seismic effect’: How surfers are shifting habits after Coogee shark attack
Veteran surfer Nick Carroll is not one to change his habits following shark attacks after more than 50 years spent chasing waves at Sydney’s beaches.
But the 66-year-old has watched many surfers and swimmers shift their routines in response to a surge in shark encounters: elderly ocean swimmers hugging the shoreline, nervous parents telling their children not to surf for weeks, or experienced board riders becoming extra vigilant when entering the water.
The mauling of 35-year-old swimmer Leah Stewart by a great white shark at Coogee Beach on Saturday has reignited debate about ocean safety measures and prompted many Sydneysiders to rethink their swims and surfs. Some remain unfazed, many take extra precautions and others avoid the water altogether.
