Experimental · uncalibrated development index

Beaches differ enough to show local scores. These remain experimental and are not official warnings.

What this shows

Relative interaction risk (species-weighted), not attack prediction
Regional meteo (SST, swell, wind, rain) as model context — one centroid
Manly rolls up Queenscliff–Shelly Beach sub-locations
Not a safety clearance and not a government or SLSA product
Recreational water quality is NSW Beachwatch (CC BY 4.0), shown on beach pages — not a vShark swim score
Seasonal ecology, citizen science and media volume live on the Data page — they do not change the 0–100
