On a Monday morning along the sun-warmed coast north of Geraldton, the sea reminded a man in his fifties — and the community around him — that the ocean is never entirely tamed. A shark attack at Glenfield Beach sent him to hospital, setting authorities in motion and drawing a quiet line between human recreation and the wild depths just offshore. As investigators piece together what happened, the event joins a long history of moments in which coastal life pauses to reckon with the nature it inhabits.
