A swimmer suffered wounds to his arms and legs Saturday after he was mauled in a suspected shark attack off Queensland state on Australia's east coast, officials said. The latest reported attack comes during the busy summer season, and as authorities in neighboring New South Wales implement a range of shark-prevention measures to reduce encounters after a spate of maulings in the state last year.
