A spate of shark attacks along the northern New South Wales coast line of Australia,Watch Ava Online have brought with them a bizarre adaptation of the #BlackLivesMatter slogan.
In response to four recent attacks and the proposed installation of controversial shark nets along the popular coast line, someone graffitied "#SurferLivesMatter" on the road.

The Indigenous advocacy Facebook group Blackfulla Revolution posted the photo, fielding the debate as to its appropriateness -- with fairly mixed responses.
