Shark nets have been placed off the Australian coast to try and keep sharks away from beaches. Supporters say these protect swimmers and surfers from shark attacks and allow tourists to feel safe visiting the beach. Opponents say they don't actually work very well, but do end up accidentally killing dolphins, turtles and other animals. Do you think shark nets should or should not be used?
