Australia’s beautiful coastline attracts over a million anglers on the rocks each year.
But nearly 200 rock fishing-related deaths have been recorded since 2004 -- that is 13 lives lost on average each year, mostly due to a lack of awareness of the risks involved.
Over three-quarters of victims were born overseas, half of them from Asia.
Being unfamiliar with conditions can expose one to a high risk of injury or even death, making it very dangerous.
