On a November morning along the luminous stretch of Cable Beach near Broome, a man lost his life to a shark attack — becoming the eighth person claimed by such an encounter in Australian waters in 2020. The beach, more commonly watched for crocodiles than sharks, found itself at the center of a broader pattern of elevated shark-human contact that year. His death is a quiet reminder that the ocean, however familiar and beloved, holds forces that resist our assumptions of safety.
