It came two years after Cameron Wrathall was severely injured by a bull shark while swimming nearby at Blackwall Reach in January 2021. The attack prompted the City of Melville to start looking into the potential for a barrier at Bicton Baths, and the government has now offered its support in the wake of Ms Berry's death.
