WA's first shark barrier is expected to be operational next week.
Work on the final stages of the 300m nylon underwater fence is taking place along Coogee Beach today and will continue over the course of the weekend.
The state government and the City of Cockburn approved a five-month trial of the barrier at the beach even though there has never been a fatal shark attack recorded at Coogee since records began.
Concerns have also been raised the barrier may cause harm to local marine life however the Perth company which designed the barrier, Form Designs, says it was designed with the "specific intention" to be eco-friendly to sea creatures.

The barrier, which is made up of interlocking cross connectors, will be assembled on the beach over the next few days. It will be held into place by anchors and buoys 75 metres from the shore.
An official unveiling of the barrier is expected on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, four northern beaches, from City Beach to Brighton, were closed for several hours early today after a tagged tiger shark was detected in the area.
